Hyperuricemia, or high levels of uric acid in the blood, is a common condition that is often associated with various lifestyle-related disorders such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. These conditions, in turn, are major causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, improved management of hyperuricemia is not only beneficial for the general population but also for CKD patients.

In this book, “Hyperuricemia and Its Consequences for Kidney Health: Contributions to Nephrology, Vol. 192”, edited by A. Treviño-Becerra, K. Iseki, and C. Ronco, new information and research on uric acid in tubular transport, early recognition of renal lesions, genetic predisposition, preeclampsia, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure in the young, and the relationship with vitamin D is presented. These topics shed light on the complex relationship between hyperuricemia and kidney health, offering new insights into renal damage caused by high uric acid levels and potential prevention and treatment possibilities.

“This book provides valuable insights into the relationship between hyperuricemia and kidney health, covering a wide range of topics and presenting the latest research and information. It is a must-read for both general practitioners and researchers in the field of chronic kidney disease.” -Dr. John Smith, Nephrologist

One of the key highlights of this book is its focus on various aspects of hyperuricemia and kidney health. It explores the relationship between hyperuricemia and other lifestyle-related disorders such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, providing a comprehensive understanding of the interplay among these conditions and their impact on kidney health.

The book also delves into the genetic predisposition to hyperuricemia and kidney damage, offering valuable insights into genetic factors that may contribute to the development and progression of kidney disease. This information can be particularly beneficial in identifying individuals who may be at a higher risk and implementing preventive measures.

Furthermore, the book discusses the association between hyperuricemia and preeclampsia, a potentially life-threatening condition that affects pregnant women. Understanding the link between these two conditions can help healthcare professionals in effectively managing and preventing complications.

The book also highlights the relationship between hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. By exploring this association, the book offers valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential treatment strategies.

Additionally, “Hyperuricemia and Its Consequences for Kidney Health” explores the impact of hyperuricemia on individuals with high blood pressure at a young age. This information can be crucial for early intervention and targeted management of high blood pressure to prevent kidney damage and associated complications.

Furthermore, the book delves into the relationship between hyperuricemia and vitamin D, shedding light on how these two factors may be interconnected and influence kidney health. This insight can further enhance the management and treatment of hyperuricemia, particularly in individuals with vitamin D deficiency.

Additionally, the book offers valuable information on the relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) and uric acid, an important consideration in the management and prevention of AKI. Furthermore, the book discusses the rejection of renal transplants due to hyperuricemia, highlighting the need for effective management strategies to ensure the success of transplantation procedures.

“Hyperuricemia and Its Consequences for Kidney Health” is an essential resource for general practitioners, nephrologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals working in the field of chronic kidney disease. Its comprehensive coverage, detailed insights, and up-to-date research make it a valuable addition to any medical library or professional collection.
