    Summary note
    "Clinical Nephrotoxins: Renal Injury from Drugs and Chemicals is a comprehensive handbook on all aspects of adverse effects by drugs and chemical substances on the kidneys. The importance of the toxicity of drugs and other substances for the kidneys is increasingly recognized." "The first, general part deals with themes as clinical relevance, renal handling, pharmacovigilance, urinary biomarkers, pharmocological, immunological and cellular aspects of nephrotoxicity, as well as animal and cell culture models. The second part includes the specific drugs; the third part gives the description of environmental and occupational nephrotoxins. The last part deals with the patient with some degree of renal failure, exposed to drugs and chemicals, the progression of renal disease, and how to adapt drug dosage." "In this third and completely revised edition, nine new chapters were added, from proton pump inhibitors to bisphophosphates, phosphate containing laxatives, oxalate, star fruit and smoking. All chapters were extended with up-to-date references." "The book is of interest for the nephrologists, internist, general practitioner, toxicologist, pharmacologist, anesthesiologist, epidemiologist, public health official, pharmaceutical industry, and national drug safety communities, among others."--BOOK JACKET.
