Book Description
The metric system of measurement is a comprehensive and important part of the international measuring system and is less complicated than the United States' measurement system. The hesitation of Americans in converting to metric system has been based on fear that they will not be able to learn or comprehend the system and the cost of transition. Since the metric Conversion Act of 1975, the public is being educated toward voluntary substitution of the International System of Units (SI). The text is designed to teach principles of the metric system and encourge application of the system through practical exercises. Basic understanding and measurement development, general conversion and the system's decimal base are covered.

Approaches to Chronic Kidney Disease
Author: Jerry McCauley
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030830829
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global public health problem, affecting nearly one in seven adults in the United States alone. It is a disease that integrates chronic illness at several levels, and the progressive condition is associated with high rates of co-morbidity. This text provides a comprehensive, current state-of-the art review of this field, serving as a valuable resource for primary care providers and non-nephrology clinicians that treat patients with CKD. It is comprised of 24 chapters focused on specific aspects of the disease. The first 2 chapters provide a bit of background on the disease, describing the anatomy and physiology of the kidney as well as the definition and epidemiology of the disease. The following 3 chapters discuss the detection, prevention and progression of the disease. The next 6 chapters describe the relationship of the disease with other conditions and most common co-morbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. The chapters, that follow focus on the CKD associated complications and the CKD within special populations such as the elderly and minorities as well as dietary restrictions and drug dosing. The book concludes with discussion on preparation for renal replacement therapy and preemptive organ transplantation as an alternative to dialysis in the management of the advanced CKD. Written by experts in the field, Approach to Chronic Kidney Disease is a comprehensive guide for clinicians, especially primary care providers including residents and fellows in training, who take care of chronic kidney disease patients. It is also a useful tool for researchers dealing with this challenging field.
