Nephrology and Urology of Small Animals 1st Edition

I'm a human nephrologist and bought this fantastic book when my dog (a shih tzu) showed signs of renal insufficiency. Today my dog is doing well on a little protein diet. I was amazed to see how the field of veterinarian nephrology is so well developed. In general, almost everything we can do to treat humans can be done to treat animals. Including recent advances in kidney transplantation.The book is also very well written, very similar to the best medical textbooks on the subject.

Between Dr. Polzin and Dr. Bartges they have upper and lower urinary diseases covered. The text is written by experts in all aspects of urinary disease and chapters are layer out in an easy to follow and organized fashion. It's a great text for veterinary internists or veterinarians that have an interest in urinary tract disease.

Ordered for my daughter who's a vet student.

I just knew it. This is a good book for who like nephrology and urology. The transplantation chapter is very good.

泌尿器学の成書が出版されるのは十数年ぶりではないかと思う。この十数年の間で、腎不全に関する治療法はその輪郭は残念ながら革新的な進歩はみられないが、その利用度やｵｰﾅｰの理解度が増し、血液･腹膜透析や腎移植(主に猫)の症例が増えているのは事実である。この本は、それらは踏まえ、尿路系疾患の基礎、病態生理、治療などについて、最近の知見を解説している。900ﾍﾟｰｼﾞ近い分量であるが、読みやすく臨床家にとっては再確認と、ちょっと新しい治療法にﾁｬﾚﾝｼﾞしてみるきっかけになるような気がする。
