Key Features
Diabetes has constituted a large part of nephrology practice. Diabetes-related renal disease including end-stage renal disease makes up the considerable volume of patients in nephrology offices throughout the world. Therefore, the editor feels deeply that including several chapters on diabetes will educate the readers with comprehensive knowledge of the pathophysiology of diabetes in this text unlike other textbooks on the subject of nephrology. The pathophysiology such as what does high glucose do to body function is written on the platform of fundamental research in the editor's laboratories. The more we know about the fundamentals of diabetes, the safer the care we will be able to provide to our patients. In other words, it is the editor's conviction that physicians should pay utmost attention to enabling a productive and healthy life for our diabetes patients rather than dictating a therapy which leads to dialys is and the burden it imposes on the patient and the family.
The chapter on logical management of diabetes should help the readers to accomplish this defined task. The focus of this third edition of the book is a conservative nephrology practice directed toward healthy living, clear of artificial means of prolonging life.
