ACQUIRED CYSTIC DISEASE OF THE KIDNEY AND RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

Opis produktu

The detailed and comprehensive observations presented in this book on acquired cystic disease of the kidney and renal cell carcinoma in dialysis patients are drawn from the authors decades of experience. Beginning with the first clinical case in 1978 and including subsequent followup studies and questionnaires the volume is an excellent clinical reference for practicing physicians. Color illustrations and numerous case studies assist the rI have been involved in the treatment of chronic renal insuf? ciency for 40 years beginning with peritoneal dialysis immediately after graduation from medical school in 1965 then with hemodialysis in 1967 after I ? rst experienced it in Kanazawa and with renal transplantation since 1972 when I was studying in the United States. During this period the number of dialysis patients has continued to increase rapidly to the present ? gure of 257 765 (at the end of 2005) and with surprising increases in the survival rate. However new and unexpected pathological conditions have also appeared as complications of longterm dialysis. One of these involves polycystic changes and their malignant transformation in diseased kidneys. Since I have studied these polycystic changes and their malignant transformation for many years I decided to compile the results of my work in a book. Such conditions of diseased kidneys pose serious problems particularly in Japan where renal transplantation is performed very infrequently compared with other countries and a large number of patients are managed by dialysis oveChapter 1 Beginning of research Chapter 2 Acquired cystic disease of the kidneys (1) Definition of acquired cystic disease of the kidneys (2) Prevalence (3) Primary disease (4) Histology of acquired cystic disease of the kidneys (5) Origin of cysts (6) Complications of acquired cystic disease of the kidneys (7) Characteristics of acquired cystic disease of the kidneys 1) The prevalence increases with the duration of dialysis 2) Gender difference 3) Dialysis method 4) Dialyzer membrane 5) Relationship with erythropoietin (8) Effects of kidney transplantation (9) Diagnosis of acquired cystic disease of the kidneys (10) Causes of acquired cystic disease of the kidneys (11) 20year followup of acquired cystic disease of the kidneys Chapter 3 Renal cell carcinomas of dialysis patients (1) There are 2 types of renal cell carcinoma in dialysis patients (3) Prevalence (3) Histology (4) Results of surveys concerning renal cell carcinoma in dialysis patients (5) Differences between Japan and the United States (6) Characteristics (7) Diagnosis 1) Ultrasonography 2) CT 3) MRI 4) Difficulties in the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma in dialysis patients 5) Screening (8) Treatment (9) Prognosis (10) Etiology Chapter 4 RCC in our dFrom the reviews://This is a very personalized review of acquired cystic disease of the kidney and its major complication renal cell carcinoma.
