Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Manual Of Acute Kidney Injury An Update by Pinaki Mukhopadhyay
It is with great pride and deep commitment that we present this first edition on Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)—a condition that affects millions around the world, often striking suddenly and carrying devastating consequences. For many patients who face this condition, their families, and the healthcare professionals who stand by their side, this book is born from the desire to provide the care, understanding, and treatment these individuals need and deserve.Over the years, the landscape of AKI has shifted significantly, with medical advances opening new doors to understanding its complexities. Yet, the challenge remains: AKI continues to claim lives, contribute to chronic kidney disease, and affect quality of life in profound ways. This book is not just a guide, but a beacon of hope for those navigating the uncertain path of AKI—whether they are patients, caregivers, or medical professionals committed to providing compassionate and effective care.The 2011 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for Acute Kidney Injury sets the stage for a standardized understanding of AKI, introducing essential criteria that have guided healthcare providers worldwide. However, AKI is more than a set of numbers or diagnoses—it is a human struggle, one that can range from silent, subtle changes in the body to overwhelming and life-threatening crises. Each patient’s journey is unique, and every effort in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment must be centered on those we are here to help.This book is intended to be a living resource—one that can be utilized by clinicians, researchers, and caregivers alike. Within its pages, we have brought together the latest evidence-based practices and insights into the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of AKI. But more than that, this book is a testament to our shared mission: To give those battling AKI the best possible care, with a commitment to their well-being and a vision for a healthier future.We believe that this work will be more than just a reference text; it will serve as a tool to empower those working in hospitals, clinics, and research laboratories across the world. Whether you are at the bedside making life-changing decisions for a patient or in a laboratory working to unravel the mysteries of AKI, this book is for you. It is a symbol of the collective dedication and compassion that drives our field forward.As we continue to witness the growing global burden of AKI, we hope this book will inspire further research, deeper understanding, and stronger collaborations. Let this book remind us that we are here not just to treat a condition, but to support and uplift the lives of those affected. Their fight is our fight, and together, we will strive to improve outcomes, extend care, and, ultimately, make a difference in the lives of those who need us most.• Current updates on concepts, classifications, and treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) and recent advances• Unanimous solutions regarding controversial issues on AKI• Clear explanations: Provides lucid explanations of various aspects• Expert authorship• Quick revision: “Points to Remember” section is provided for a rapid review of must-know information• Contain high quality 100 MCQs for self-assessment
