    Author: Spetie DN, Haller LU, Agarwal AK.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2002 Jan; 19(1):43-64, vi. PubMed ID: 11806165.
    Abstract:
    This article includes a review of hypertension, nephrolithiasis and cystic diseases of the kidney, all quite common diagnoses. These days, as concerns are growing, some are considering diabetes mellitus to be a national epidemic. Thus, our entire article focuses on the diabetic renal disease. The current approach to the diagnosis and treatment of acute renal failure and chronic renal insufficiency is discussed, including treatment modalities such as dialysis and transplantation. This article is not at all intended to be a comprehensive review of each topic included, but rather it is an attempt to make the reader more familiar with the fascinating and continuously evolving field of nephrology.
