The problem of chronically impaired kidney function is relevant to all medical practitioners regardless of their specialist interest. Based on the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology and companion to the Oxford Handbook of Dialysis, this handbook provides clear information and practical advice about the day-to-day management of patients with renal disease.

Fully revised and expanded for its second edition, this handbook offers clear, concise information and practical guidance for managing patients with renal disease. It serves as an essential resource for those working with renal patients, including specialist trainees in nephrology, foundation doctors, renal nurses, and general practitioners. This vital guide is perfect for ward use and is invaluable for exam preparation. Building on the foundation of the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology and complementing the Oxford Handbook of Dialysis, it covers the full spectrum of renal care. Chapters on AKI and CKD have been significantly expanded to reflect their importance in both primary and secondary care. The shift in understanding from acute renal failure to AKI has prompted fast-paced changes, and this handbook has been updated to keep readers informed in this crucial area. Additionally, renal transplantation has seen increased volume and complexity, warranting a dedicated chapter that has been thoroughly revised. Comprehensive, easy-to-use, and concise, with a strong emphasis on practical advice and detailed guidance on a range of conditions, this handbook ensures that readers have essential information readily available.
