About this Item

Print on Demand. This book provides a concise yet comprehensive guide to assessing kidney function in preparation for urological surgery. It was written during a period of limited diagnostics and operative intervention. Nevertheless, the author brought together the most up-to-date medical understanding and techniques of the time, which laid the groundwork for the field and provided a foundation that is still relevant today. Divided into two parts, the book begins by describing methods for assessing overall kidney function, including urine analysis, blood sampling, and physical examination. The second part focuses on assessing the function of individual kidneys, which was a topic of particular interest to the author. This book will appeal to medical students, urologists, and anyone interested in the history of surgical innovation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Key insights into estimating kidney function in urinary surgery for accurate diagnosis and safer operations.

This volume presents a clinical study of how doctors assess renal function using physiological tests and symptom analysis. It connects practical examination with surgical implications, helping clinicians choose reliable methods for evaluating kidney activity in urinary diseases.

Structured to support both reference and hands‑on use, the book outlines tests, interpretation, and the cases where these methods apply. It emphasizes how signs of renal failure can be subtle and how repeated observation strengthens diagnostic confidence.

• How urine tests, blood tests, and physical signs combine to indicate renal health
• Procedures and interpretation for phloridzin, methylene blue, indigo-carmine, and other functional tests
• Techniques for separating and analyzing urine from each kidney during surgery
• Practical guidance on avoiding fallacies and pitfalls in renal assessment

Ideal for readers of surgical and medical texts who want a practical framework for evaluating renal function in urinary disease and intervention planning.
