• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers all forms of imaging in pediatric nephrology incorporating all radiologic modalities and imaging of pediatric kidney disorders. It covers from antenatal to post-natal imaging of kidney of a child, starting from normal to abnormal imaging and latest evidence based approach. Chapters cover all forms of abnormalities including cysts, neoplasms, infections, acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. The book includes chapter on basics of radiology in children, how to avoid radiation, and point of care ultrasound in pediatric intensive care among others.

The editors and authors are leading experts in pediatric nephrology and pediatric radiology from across the world. The editors mentor pediatric nephrology sessions at multiple avenues across the world and therefore the book incorporates all the latest protocols.

The book is relevant for radiologists, pediatric radiologists, pediatricians, pediatric nephrologists, adult nephrologists, fellows in nephrology and radiology. It also meets the curriculum requirements of fellowship training in nephrology and pediatric nephrology.

Dr Sidharth Kumar Sethi is currently Senior Consultant, Pediatric Nephrology and Kidney Transplant Medicine, Kidney Institute, Medanta, The Medicity, India. He completed his fellowship (International Pediatric Nephrology Association Fellowship) and senior residency in pediatric nephrology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi and ISN (International Society of Nephrology) Fellowship at Division of Pediatric Nephrology and Transplant Immunology at Cedars Sinai Medical Centre, Los Angeles, California. Dr Sethi has been a faculty at multiple meetings on pediatric acute kidney injury and pediatric dialysis nationally and internationally. His chief interests are acute kidney injury, dialysis and pediatric renal transplantation. He has been actively involved in the care of children with all kinds of complex renal disorders, including acute kidney injury, dialysis, nephrotic syndrome, tubular disorders, urinary tract infections, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and renal transplantation. Dr Sethi has been a part of expert committee involved in the formulation of guidelines of pediatric renal disorders including steroid sensitive, steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome and urinary tract infections for Indian Society of Pediatric Nephrology. He has more than 200 indexed publications in pediatric nephrology and chapters in reputed nephrology books. He was honored by Case Western Reserve University in 2014 and Cleveland Clinic in 2023 for his outstanding contributions to the field. Dr Vivek Sharma is working as Associate Director, Division of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Medanta - The Medicity Hospital, Gurgaon. His vast experience includes imaging related to both medical and surgical diagnostic radiology in adult and pediatric patients. He is actively involved in post-operative imaging of renal and liver transplant patients of all age groups for over ten years. With special interest in pediatric imaging in an overall experience of more than twenty one years in radiology, he has developed procedures and techniques for better imaging favoring children, parents and pediatricians. He has been a faculty in many national and international conferences including pediatric conferences and has various publications in pediatric journals.  Dr Rupesh Raina is currently a combined adult and pediatric nephrologist and director of medical research and scholarly activity and associate program director of internal medicine at Akron General Medical Center at Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Akron Children's Hospital. He is also a faculty and research staff at Case Western University School of Medicine. Dr. Raina is a Council Member for University Council of Deans at Northeast Ohio Medical University. His research interest includes the pathophysiology and preventive methods of progression of renal cystic disease, transition of nephrology care from pediatrics to adults, renal replacement therapy and high flow ultrafiltration for management of inborn error of metabolism. He has a special interest in developing medical curriculum and case based workshop to enhance clinical knowledge of the medical students and residents. He has trained many basic scientists and clinical researchers from the United States and abroad, and the recipient of twelve research grants. He has written more than 250 original peer reviewed articles along with numerous additional articles, editorial and book chapters relating to biomedical research and clinical activities. He is currently the medical advisory board member for the National Kidney Foundation, Fellow for the American College of Physicians, Fellow American Association of Pediatrics, Fellow and board member of National Kidney Foundation and Fellow of American Society of Nephrology.   Professor Yap Hui Kim graduated from the University of Singapore and obtained the master of medicine (Pediatrics) and doctor of medicine (Singapore). She pursued training in pediatric nephrology at the UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, California. Upon returning to Singapore, Prof Yap set up the pediatric renal service with dialysis and renal transplantation program at National University Hospital (NUH). Prof Yap is the Head of the Division of Pediatric Nephrology, Dialysis and Renal Transplantation at Khoo Teck Puat - National University Children's Medical Institute, National University Hospital, Singapore. She has been elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medicine (Singapore), the Royal College of Physicians (Edin), the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health and the American Society of Nephrology. An internationally respected pediatrician, Prof Yap has been bestowed the NKF gift of Life Award in 1996 for her pioneering work in pediatric dialysis and transplantation. In 2012, she received the Healthcare Humanity Award and the Outstanding Asian Pediatrician Award from the Asian-Pacific Pediatric Association for her contributions to pediatrics and the development of pediatric nephrology in Asia. She was also awarded the National Medicine Excellence Awards 2008 - National Outstanding Clinician Award for her exceptional contributions on the clinical front and the Lee Foundation NHG-NUHS Lifetime Achievement Award 2013. Prof Yap's research interest is in the immunology of kidney diseases, in particular childhood nephrotic syndrome. She has been the principal investigator in grants totaling more than $5 million and her research group was the first to describe the role of interleukin-13 in childhood minimal change nephrotic syndrome. Her group has also developed an interleukin-13 overexpression animal model of nephrotic syndrome in order to further study the molecular mechanisms of the disease. Her current work is focusing on a serious form of nephrotic syndrome, namely focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and her group has identified an immunological abnormality in patients with this disease that predicts response to treatment with an anti-B lymphocyte monoclonal antibody, resulting in prevention of progression to kidney failure.
