Reviews'a multi-authored, comprehensive review of the hereditary cystic kidneydiseases ... There is useful information on virtually every page ... the book iswell organized and well referenced, with figures and graphs that clearly augmentthe written text ... This text makes a useful addition to the clinician'slibrary.'Bruce Z. Morgenstern, Pediatr Nephrol (1997) 11:664, 'I found this book a delight to read - it provides a balanced diet ofgenetics, pathophysiology and clinical medicine. For experts and researchers inthe field there is detailed information and stimulation; for interestedclinicians, the scientific sections are intelligibly presented and the clinicalsections should be a real aid in day-to-day practice. This book does not simplygive a list of known features or research in the condition it covers, it alsosquarely addresses some of the more difficult problems which face clincians andtheir patients.'Terry Feest, Southmead Hospital, Journal of the Royal College of Physicians ofLondon, Vol. 32, No. 1 January./February 1998, 'This is a further addition to the 'Oxford Clinical Nephrology' Series andprovides an extensive review of our current knowledge on polycystic kidneydisease...Overall this is an excellent book and provides much useful informationfor both the diagnosis and management of renal cystic diseases. It can be highlyrecommended, not just for the outstanding way the subject has been approached,but because the book also contains useful background information which greatlyenhances the overall value.'Nephrol Dial Transplant, 1998, 13: 1904-1908, 'a multi-authored, comprehensive review of the hereditary cystic kidney diseases ...

SynopsisMany inherited diseases and non-herediatry disorders have in common th e development of renal cyctic disease. The most common, autosonal domi nant polycystic kidney disease, is responsible for 5-10% of end-stage renal failure treated by dialysis or transplantation. Since the public ation six years ago of the last book on polycystic kidney disease, a n umber of genes causing the disease have been identified, mapped, or se quenced; new experimental models and the application of molecular biol ogy techniques have provided new insights into the pathogenesis of pol ycystic kidney disease; novel clinical studies have provided valuable information for the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of the compl ications of this disease. This book provides an updated, state-of-the- art review of the genetics, pathophysiology, evaluation, and managemen t of these diseases and will be of interest to both basic researchers and clinicians in nephrology., Many inherited diseases and non-hereditary disorders have in common the development of renal cystic disease.

It is responsible for up to a tenth of all cases of end-stage renal disease and may also cause secondary disorders with a fatal outcome. Understanding of the causes and treatment has advanced rapidly in the last decade, and this book gives a state-of-the-art review of the diseases. It covers a wide range of topics in the natural history, diagnosis, clinical management, underlying genetic investigations, and family counselling of those with polycystic kidney disease, and will be of interest to clinical and research nephrologists worldwide.
