| Abstract: |
This article summarizes important, recent clinical advances in nephrology; the author focuses on three key topics of interest: hypertension (high blood pressure), proteinuria (protein in the urine), and renal replacement therapy (RRT, which include dialysis and transplantation). Two single studies, one in the area of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) and the other dealing with glomerulonephritis in the form of lupus-related nephropathy, are also reviewed. The editor chose studies that provide pathophysiologic insight into a given problem or that are likely to alter clinical practice. Each study is briefly summarized, with clinical strategies highlighted. 3 references. |
