eChapters are structured, fully cited textbook-length chapters on the topics nephrologists actually need to teach, refer to, and audit. Each follows a unified editorial framework, carries every reference with a verified DOI, and lives in HTML so it updates as the evidence moves.
Physiology, prescription, peritonitis prevention and treatment, ultrafiltration, complications, and modality selection — anchored in ISPD 2022–2024 recommendations.
Volume control, glucose exposure, lipid changes, calcification, and modality-specific risk modification — applied at the bedside, not just described.
Maladaptive senescence, epigenetic reprogramming, and the translational frontier — what nephrologists need to know about why recovery is incomplete.
Elastography, MRI techniques, urinary and serum biomarkers — where the evidence allows clinicians to move beyond biopsy.
FSGS, IgAN, membranous, ANCA-vasculitis — risk stratification, monitoring strategies, prevention, and management of recurrence.
Tryptophan metabolism, indoxyl sulfate, p-cresyl sulfate — translating microbiome science into dietary and pharmacological strategies.
Peri-operative fluid and electrolyte strategy, anticoagulation, anaesthetic considerations, and post-operative dialysis planning.
Fluid shifts, calcium kinetics, stone formation, and what astronaut and analogue data teach us about everyday kidney physiology.
Pulled live from the National Library of Medicine each time you open this page. Use it to scan what is new in nephrology before deciding whether a chapter section needs an update.
Each chapter applies the same workflow: structured outline → evidence sweep across guidelines, systematic reviews, and primary trials → Vancouver-style reference verification with DOI on every citation → SANRA quality appraisal → peer review by a second nephrologist → AI-assistance disclosure per ICMJE 2025. Last-reviewed dates are printed on every chapter and refreshed at least annually.
