These topics are connected since numerous infectious and parasitic diseases affect the kidneys and are endemic in the tropical areas of the globe. Considered neglected tropical diseases by the World Health Organization, they are largely linked to poverty and lack policies to prevent, treat and decrease their prevalence and incidence. The tropics currently encompass nearly 150 countries and account for 40% of the world's population, and it is predicted that by 2050 this figure will rise to 55%. Most of the countries in the tropical regions have been classified by the World Bank as low-middle income countries and have limited access to services, including health care. As such, this highly topical book is of interest to a large number of healthcare professionals and researchers who are in contact with tropical diseases, especially those investigating their complications, such as kidney injury. Divided into 23 chapters, it describes the most prevalent tropical diseases and conditions that affect the kidneys. It also presents the most recent epidemiological data, clinical manifestations, details of kidney involvement, including the pathophysiology of kidney injury, and the current treatment for each disease.NephrologyInfectious diseasesTropical medicinePublic healthNursingNephrologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33126Infectious Diseaseshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33096Tropical Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H61006Public Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002Nursinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H41005NefrologiathubMedicina tropicalthubLlibres electrònicsthubNephrology.Infectious diseases.Tropical medicine.Public health.Nursing.Nephrology.Infectious Diseases.Tropical Medicine.Public Health.Nursing.NefrologiaMedicina tropical616.61Bezerra da Silva Junior Geraldoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDe Francesco Daher Elizabethedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBarros Elvinoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910407726803321Tropical Nephrology1999197UNINA
