This second edition expands upon the previous volume with additional emphasis on recent
innovation in basic renal research and has a more holistic approach on associated disorders
such as complications associated with peritoneal dialysis ischemic acute kidney injury the
sympathetic nervous system and vascular calcification. The book is divided into five parts:
Part I provides a number of in vitro in vivo and ex vivo models of kidney disease and
associated complications Part II looks at recent advances in imaging techniques Part III
covers recent developments in studying metabolism in renal ischemia and reperfusion Part IV
addresses study and measurement of vascular calcification and Part V explores analytical
techniques that are both topical and of widespread relevance to the study of experimental renal
disease. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format chapters
include introductions to their respective topics lists of the necessary materials and reagents
step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and cutting-edge Kidney Research: Experimental Protocols
Second Edition is a valuable collection of protocols useful to new and experienced researchers
who are interested in the field of Nephrology.
