Glomerulopathies: Cell Biology And Immunology

The glomerulopathies are the diseases affecting the filtering units of the kidneys. In Glomerulopathies: Cell Biology and Immunology, the author details how recent advances in cell biology and immunology are able to advance our understanding such that we should be able to ameliorate or even arrest the course of these diseases. In addition to discussing the fundamental concepts, the book covers recent advances pertinent to the pharmacological and clinical management of glomerulonephritides and diabetic nephropathy. The book uses a blend of basic science and clinical and experimental findings in a way that is suitable both for trainees in medical science and professional nephrologists.

In this book, E. Nigel Wardle provides a balanced review in the fundamental developments, and presents the clinical implications that will modify diagnosis and treatment.
" Glomerulopathies: Cell Biology and Immunology" should be read by researchers in allied areas and clinicians who want to access the current perspectives on these important diseases.
Recent advances in cell biology and immunology have begun to shed light on the group of pathological conditions known collectively as the glomerulopathies. These include diabetes and systemic lupus erythematosus.
