The book provides a detailed introduction to the basic concepts of renal failure, the diagnostic approach and methods for acute renal failure, the etiology, pathophysiological characteristics, mechanisms, typical and special clinical manifestations, general treatment strategies, and basic measures for acute renal failure. It also covers the pathophysiology and compensatory changes, clinical features, treatment, and some special issues of chronic renal failure. Additionally, it specifically introduces acute renal failure associated with renal interstitial diseases, renal vascular diseases, traditional Chinese medicine, and other comorbid conditions, as well as the pharmacokinetics and drug adjustments for chronic renal failure. This book is not only suitable for reference by nephrologists and nephrology researchers who are interested in renal failure studies but also serves as a valuable resource for clinicians in various specialties, including internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, dermatology, and more.
