About this book
When the kidney fails its intended mission to manage the body’s waste products, physicians must perform multi-level and simultaneous adjustments to replicate kidney function. The management of the body’s absorption, reabsorption, utilization and excretion of calcium and phosphate requires constant fine tuning. Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism Management in Chronic Renal Diseases provides an overview of the state-of-the-art clinical and basic science aspects of abnormal calcium and phosphate metabolism and its management.
Chen Hsing Hsu is a Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book offers a comprehensive overview of calcium and phosphate abnormalities in chronic kidney disease. … The editor is an internationally known expert in the field of calcium metabolism. The list of contributors includes several senior, well published physicians known in the field. The book targets medical providers from students to experienced nephrologists. The level of detail in the majority of chapters makes the book likely more useful for advanced providers dealing with calcium and phosphate physiology on a daily basis." (Stefan G Kiessling, Doody's Review Service, November, 2007)
