Silva's Diagnostic Renal Pathology Second Edition

 Approximately  ten percent of the world population are affected by kidney diseases,  which often can only be diagnosed by renal biopsy. This practical guide  offers an algorithmic, deductive approach to the interpretation of this  complicated procedure, covering all technical methods used for  diagnosis. This new edition includes an authoritative chapter on digital  renal pathology, a topic inadequately covered in current literature.  All chapters have been extensively revised in light of major advances in  the understanding of the pathogenesis and clinicopathological features  of renal disease. Written for practising pathologists and nephrologists,  this text encompasses the entire spectrum of medical renal diseases in  both pediatric and adult populations. Its numerous diagnostic algorithms  provide a convenient overview and a helpful guide into the detailed  text, directing the reader to major patterns of interest.
