Uremic Toxins
von Toshimitsu NiwaReviews all the latest basic and clinical researchfindings
With contributions from leading international experts in thefield, this book is dedicated to all facets of uremic toxinsresearch, including low molecular weight solutes, protein-boundsolutes, and middle molecules. Moreover, it covers everything frombasic mass spectrometry research to the latest clinical findingsand practices.
Uremic Toxins is divided into three sections:
* Section One, Uremic Toxins, explores the definition, classification, listing, and mass spectrometric analysis of uremictoxins
* Section Two, Selected Uremic Toxins, describes keyuremic toxins, explaining chemical structures, metabolism, analytical methods, plasma levels, toxicity, clinical implications, and removal methods. Among the uremic toxins covered are indoxylsulfate, asymmetric dimethylarginine, PTH, ß2-microglobulin, and AGEs
* Section Three, Therapeutic Removal of Uremic Toxins, describes how uremic toxins can be removed by hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and oral sorbent
All chapters are based on the authors' thorough review of theliterature as well as their own personal laboratory and clinicalexperience. References at the end of each chapter provide a gatewayto the literature in the field.
Reviewing all the latest basic and clinical research findings, Uremic Toxins will help bench scientists in nephrologyadvance their own investigations. It will also help clinicians takeadvantage of the latest tested and proven treatments for themanagement of chronic kidney disease.
