Encompassing core subjects in critical care and nephrology, as well as specific related consultative topics, this clearly presented text is organized into three sections focusing on: up-to-date background information on the critically ill patient, including chapters on respiratory, circulatory, renal, and multi-organ failure; core topics in ICU nephrology, including prevention and medical therapy of acute renal failure (ARF), and provision of a variety of renal replacement therapy (RRT) modalities; and a series of common ICU consultative nephrology topics. An authoritative and practical reference, and the first text to bring together experts from the various specialties involved, this multi-disciplinary book is a highly useful resource for any practitioner responsible for the care of critically ill patients Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Nephrology.
