Diagnostic Atlas of Renal Pathology: A Companion to Brenner and Rector's The Kidney 7E

This new atlas covers all major inflammatory, infectious, pre-neoplastic, and neoplastic diseases of the kidney. Over 600 illustrations help readers to recognize the pathologic features and clinical manifestations of both common and rare renal disorders and to formulate confident and accurate diagnoses. This resource, Diagnostic Atlas of Renal Pathology, is designed as a companion book to, “The Kidney 7th Edition” by Brenner and Rector. The newest information regarding categorizing and classification of diseases is presented and how this relates to the various morphological lesions illustrated and their clinical significance.

Reviews
"Designed as a companion to Brenner & Rector's The Kidney, this volume illustrates in greater detail renal biopsy findings associated with those diseases discussed in the classic textbook while following the same organization of topics. Featuring an array of microscopic slides and other high quality images, the volume emphasizes the illustration of pathologic lesions."--SciTech Book News September 2005
"Accessible to the nephrologist and pathologist alike, this 480-page color Diagnostic Atlas of Renal Pathology is a welcome addition to the resources available in this field."--American Journal of Kidney Diseases, December 2005
