Non-Neoplastic Kidney Diseases

The twenty-six chapters in this Atlas are organised around standardised disease entities or patterns of disease, including congenital and hereditary diseases, acquired diseases of the native kidney, and diseases of the renal allograft. Wherever possible, the authors have tried to remain consistent with the widely-recognised International Nomenclature of Disease, a joint project of the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences and the World Health Organization.

Although this Atlas provides comprehensive coverage of the major common disease entities and their variants, it also includes many rare, but no less important, conditions. The extensive collection of images is the focal point, balanced by an informative text and selective use of illustrative tables.
