Acute Kidney Injury (Paperback)

Paperback. Acute Kidney Injury: A Practical Guide to Etiology, Clinical Evaluation, and Management is a comprehensive, clinically focused resource designed to help healthcare professionals navigate the complexities of acute kidney injury across diverse medical settings. Combining contemporary evidence with practical bedside application, this book provides a clear and structured approach to the causes, pathophysiology, diagnosis, risk assessment, and management of AKI.
