Greydanus D.E., Raj V.M.S., Rowlett J.D. et al. (eds.) Chronic Disease and Disability: The Pediatric Kidney

2nd edition. — Nova Science Publishers, 2022. — 550 p. — (Pediatrics, Child and Adolescent Health). — ISBN: 978-1-68507-716-7.This second edition is written for the primary care clinician to help update knowledge of pediatric nephrology. The current and future shortage of pediatric nephrologists necessitates steady, rejuvenated information on the Aristolean kidney for primary care clinicians as they care for the child and adolescents with renal and genitourinary dilemmas and disorders. Given this shortage and the rapidly increasing knowledge in pediatric nephrology as well as understanding indications for referral to pediatric nephrologists in the 21st century, au courant assiduous information aimed at primary care clinicians in these areas becomes increasingly important. Chapters in this book cover nephrological problems in different pediatric ages including newborns. As noted by some of the ancient scholars, the kidney does not exist in isolation, but is involved in other aspects of the body – thus, we include chapters on the kidney in cardiac and other disorders. Behavioral aspects of chronic disease, including renal disorders, are also considered because of the importance that renal (and chronic) disease has on the child and adolescent.From the Kition, Cyprus and Aristotelian Kidney to the 21st Century Pediatric Kidney: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.
