Features: Chronic kidney failure is a common and difficult-to-treat advanced kidney disease. In China, approximately 100 people out of every million die from this disease each year, posing a significant threat to human health. With the continuous development of medical science, significant achievements have been made in the research of the etiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic kidney failure. Many advanced technologies have already been applied to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Based on domestic and international medical literature and our own experience, we have compiled this book. The book is divided into three parts: the first part is on the anatomy and physiology of the kidney, the second part is on chronic kidney failure, and the third part is on the two alternative treatments for chronic kidney failure, namely hemodialysis and kidney transplantation surgery. From the content of this book, it is a medical reference book with a broad scope. It covers both clinical medicine and basic medicine, as well as issues related to nephrology and urology.
