For today's nephrologist who is tasked with diagnosing a wide range of renal pathologic entities, Diagnostic Atlas of Renal Pathology is a must-have reference for everyday use. The updated 4th Edition offers an in-depth examination of pathophysiology, clinical presentations, and the latest evidence-based practices. Hundreds of pertinent macro- and/or microscopic images are presented in a user-friendly manner intended specifically for renal pathology.
- Offers templated, detailed discussions on key characteristic pathologic findings and prognostic, pathogenetic, and etiologic information for each disorder.
- Features numerous tables and sidebars with key points and differential diagnoses.
- Covers major new advances in the classification and diagnosis of select tubular cystic diseases, new advances in classification of fibrillary processes and C3 related diseases, new insights in monoclonal protein-related diseases, ongoing work in lupus, and advances in IgA nephropathy as well as transplantation.
- Contains more than 700 high-quality representative images of light, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy, including new colorized electron microscopy images, with correlations to clinical presentation and pathogenesis.
- Features new animations that clearly depict the progression of membranous nephropathy, membranoproliferative GN, and crescentic GN.
- Includes schematic representations of glomerular diseases, which are particularly useful for illustrating difficult concepts.
- Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.
Fogo, Agnes B.: - Professor Agnes Borge Fogo completed her medical and pathology training at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA. Her main research interests are focused on progression of chronic kidney disease and crosstalk between tubules and glomeruli, funded by the NIH and other sources. An expert in the area of diagnostic renal pathology, she has published over 520 research articles and reviews, authored two textbooks of renal pathology and created an online Atlas of Renal Pathology with AJKD and NKF. She received the Robert G. Narins award from the ASN and the Roscoe R. Robinson award from the ISN for her contributions in teaching. She has been a councilor of the ISN, served as Chair of its Renal Pathology Committee, with focus on developing educational tools related to kidney biopsy interpretation. She started her 2 year term as the President of the ISN at the 2021 World Congress of Nephrology meeting. She has served as Associate Editor for American Journal of Pathology and The Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. She is currently Section Editor for Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation and Associate Editor for Laboratory Investigation and Kidney International. She is the John L. Shapiro Professor of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics and director of the Renal/Electron Microscopy Laboratory, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Kashgarian, Michael: - Michael Kashgarian, MD is professor emeritus of and senior research scientist in pathology. He received his medical degree from Yale School of Medicine in 1958, completed his residency in pathology at the Yale-New Haven Medical Center in 1963, and completed a fellowship in laboratory medicine at Yale-New Haven Hospital in 1964. While on the Yale faculty he established a diagnostic renal pathology and electron microscopy laboratory that bears his name. He was also a pioneer in understanding the process of organ rejection. Although Kashgarian has retired, he continues to be active in the diagnosis of renal and cardiac biopsies.
