Textbook of Nephro-Endocrinology, Third Edition remains the definitive translational reference in the field of nephroendocrinology, investigating both the endocrine functions of the kidneys and how the kidney acts as a target for hormones from other organ systems.

The book offers researchers and clinicians expert analyses of nephroendocrine research and translation into the treatment of diseases such as anemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), rickets, osteoporosis, and hypoparathyroidism.
