"Updated to reflect the latest research in this field, Toxicology of the Kidney, Third Edition explores the correlation between anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology of the kidney. The text explains how these factors are related to concepts of clinical nephrotoxicity and renal failure in humans, and how animal models can be used to understand the mechanisms of human renal disease." "In addition to updating many of the key elements of previous editions, the book incorporates cutting-edge information on newly emerging areas of renal research. Filled with current reviews of unpublished and recently published information, the book is a concise compendium of many key topics that will continue to play a central role in understanding and treating nephrotoxicity for decades to come."--BOOK JACKET.
