Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume contains over 40 informative contributions from leading specialists in the field focusing on the following inheritable diseases: - Polycystic kidney disease - Tuberous sclerosis complex - Von Hippel-Lindau disease - Alport syndrome - Primary hyperoxaluria - Cystinuria - Anderson-Fabry disease Recent scientific advances have changed our knowledge regarding several hereditary kidney diseases and the application of this knowledge will open a new era of molecular medicine in which the risk of disease can be accurately assessed by DNA-based diagnostic procedures. The appropriate use of preemptive medical care will benefit all patients and lower the social costs of certain diseases but ethical guidelines need to be clearly established. The goal of this volume is to bring together the latest findings of clinical nephrologists, geneticists and molecular biologists in order to further the clinical application of genetic diagnostic techniques for some of the most common inherited nephropathies. Throwing new light on a range of important topics and issues, the book is very valuable for all those interested in the field.
