Publisher's Synopsis
The kidney plays a crucial role in the metabolism of many low molecular weight proteins. Many drugs and chemicals can injure the kidney and cause an increase in urinary proteins and enzymes. This publication reports the latest findings from experimental and clinical medicine on the renal handling of proteins and the nephrotoxicity of drugs and contrast media. Other areas of interest include renal physiology and pathophysiology, proteinuria, and the importance of urinary proteins and enzymes in the detection of kidney damage.
