Features: The organizational and formatting style of this book is highly unique and can be regarded as one of the outstanding classic treatises in the field of nephrology—the sister volume to Brenner and Rector's Kidney. We have followed the thematic classification of kidney diseases discussed in Brenner and Rector's book, providing detailed elaboration and illustrated findings from kidney biopsies. Thus, the content of this book is divided into: primary glomerular diseases, secondary glomerular diseases, vascular diseases, tubulointerstitial diseases, kidney transplantation, cystic kidney diseases, and kidney tumors. In the glomerular disease chapters, the organizational order of the content follows the same structure as Kidney: diseases causing nephrotic syndrome are categorized first, followed by those causing nephritic syndrome, and then further classified by pathogenesis. Fundamentally, this book is atlas-based, with a focus on pathological images of diseases. The atlas format facilitates a thorough, comprehensive, and detailed illustration of the morphological characteristics of a series of lesions for each discussed disease. Additionally, we have incorporated hot topics discussions in the book, summarizing key pathological features, information on disease prognosis, etiology, and pathogenesis, introducing new disease classification information, and emphasizing the causes of different morphological changes and their clinical significance. The references in this book are representative and often cover hot topics. For further in-depth exploration of the pathophysiology of clinical manifestations, symptoms, and treatments, Kidney provides more detailed and extensive references. Readers can consult this nephrology textbook to learn about kidney diseases more comprehensively.
