“ Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. Brandon/Hill Medical List minimal-core, first-purchase selection (#659). Two-volume resource provides comprehensive, authoritative coverage of every aspect of kidney development and function, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Also presents new data on drugs and therapies.

In the twenty-eight-year period from the first edition of The Kidney (1976) to the present seventh edition (2004), the knowledge base of nephrology has expanded remarkably. Progressing in logical order from the study of whole kidney function in intact organisms to the investigation of the individual nephron unit—discrete glomerulus and tubule segments and epithelial, endothelial, mesangial, or other renal-specific cell types—the basic thrust in nephrology research now extends to the level of cellular organelles, membrane channels, transporters, and exchangers and to the myriad genes that govern renal cell protein expression and regulation. At each of these levels of the reductive cascade, specific derangements are increasingly implicated as causes of the disorders of renal structure and function that lead to organ-specific injury and to the generalized disturbances of body fluid volume and composition—the panoply of syndromes that constitutes the oeuvre of clinical nephrology.
In 1976, the largest annual meeting of nephrology, the American Society of Nephrology, received approximately 500 abstracts. In 2003, this number exceeded 4000. Such explosive growth in the fruits of research in the basic renal sciences, pathophysiology, and clinical nephrology challenges our individual abilities to receive, store, assimilate, and synthesize this ever-increasing fund of new knowledge. In keeping with previous editions, the seventh edition once again strives to confront these challenges by expanding the scope of topics covered, in particular by adding 10 new chapter headings in addition to the many already added to the fifth and sixth editions. To ensure a fresh perspective in the formidable task of assimilating and synthesizing new information, we have continued the approach taken in previous editions, namely, to rewrite chapters, sometimes partially but more often completely, by inviting internationally recognized new authorities as contributors. Their challenge, as well as mine, has been to accomplish our stated goals without adding further bulk to an already formidable two-volume tome and to ensure the inclusion of thousands of references that accurately reflect the progress that has been made since the previous edition 4 years ago.
To further address the needs and interests of clinicians treating renal disease, we are pleased to continue to update and expand our library of companion volumes to Brenner & Rector's The Kidney. These books represent highly current, comprehensive, and integrated content and focus on the significant advances made in the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic kidney disease and hypertension.
We are pleased to have just published the second edition of Therapy in Nephrology and Hypertension, edited by Hugh Brady and Christopher Wilcox. To be published in the fall of 2004 will be the second editions of Hypertension, edited by Suzanne Oparil and Michael Weber, and Chronic Kidney Disease: Dialysis and Transplantation, edited by Brian Pereira, Mohamed Sayegh, and Peter Blake. In addition, we remain delighted with the success of our current volumes: Acute Renal Failure, edited by Bruce Molitoris and William Finn, and Acid-Base and Electrolyte Disorders, edited by Thomas DuBose and Lee Hamm. In the near future we will also add to the companion library an Atlas of Renal Pathology, The Molecular and Genetic Basis of Renal Disease, a new concise Pocket Companion to Brenner & Rector's The Kidney, and a board-review workbook. A most exciting part of our future planning is an e-edition, a web site based on the entire library, which will include updates and other multimedia not possible in print form.
I continue to be indebted to our authors for their unrivaled scholarship, splendid cooperation, and timeliness in meeting austere deadlines. I also wish to express my sincere gratitude to my very able editorial assistant, Francesca Quinn, and to the many dedicated professionals at Elsevier—in particular Susan Pioli, Jennifer Ehlers, Lee Ann Draud, and Steven Stave—for their enthusiasm, guidance, and unrelenting support. ”
