Dialysis amyloidosis is a syndrome observed in dialysis patients characterized initially by joint pain, followed later by joint destruction. At present, development of this syndrome is one of the few complications in these patients. The factors involved in the genesis of this syndrome are not
yet known with certainty and there is as yet no proven efficacious treatment other than renal transplantation. As a result, the interest in this topic among nephrologists remains very high.
This book respond to this interest by providing general information on the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of all types of amyloidosis. The recently discovered B2 type of dialysis amyloidosis, a serious complication which affects patients suffering from chronic renal failure, is fully covered
from the clinical and pathological features to the physiological and pathophysiological aspects. This book will give nephrologists and rheumatologists a clear understanding of the dialysis amyloidosis syndrome as well as making a valuable contribution to identifying strategies for treatment and
prevention.
Industry Reviews
`this book achieves a balance between clinical topics which will appeal to all practising nephrologists, and more fundamental aspects of amyloidosis which will interest anyone trying to unravel this challenging disorder.' P.E. Gower, Charing Cross Hospital, London, Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of London. Vol. 32, No. 1 January/February 1998 `In General this is an excellent book and gives much useful information relating to this distressing condition...A useful feature of this book is the extensive list of references at the end of each chapter...The chapters are well written, the book is well balanced, the illustrations appropriate and the index comprehensive. It is therefore a text which can be recommended to those seeking a greater understanding of the subject.' Nephrol Dial Transplant, 1998, 13: 1904-8
