The kidneys are responsible for many key bodily functions, but their primary role as a filter of toxins makes them extremely susceptible to disease. Often these diseases can only be diagnosed through a renal biopsy, a complicated procedure requiring ancillary immunologic and molecular diagnostic techniques. Many academic centers set aside dedicated laboratories specifically for renal pathology due to the amount of expertise required. This book covers all methods used by renal pathologists to diagnose a wide range of kidney diseases. Unlike most literature on renal pathology, this book is situated on the midpoint between encyclopedic and superficial coverage, written for the signing-out pathologist. While focusing on tumors and transplantation rejection, a full spectrum of infectious, inflammatory, and congenital disorders is covered in both pediatric and adult populations and is analyzed not only by light microscopy but by each applicable diagnostic modality available. The text is illustrated with more than 1,000 photomicrographs and diagrams, including a CD-ROM of all images.

Silva's Diagnostic Renal Pathology
Edited by a group of internationally renowned renal pathologists, this is the best renal pathology book I have ever read. It covers the pathology of the entire spectrum of medical renal diseases, renal transplantation and renal tumors. The book is uniquely organized according to the clinical syndromes with numerous well-designed and extremely useful diagnostic flowcharts. It is beautifully crafted and illustrated with over 1000 images. All nephrologists, pathologists, and trainees of pathology and nephrology should read this book.
A valuable reference book for renal pathology
The Silva's Diagnostic Renal Pathology has systemically described renal pathology. The authors have incorporated pathologic mechanism, morphologic diagnosis, clinical relevance and laboratory parameters in a comprehensive way. At same time, the book is compact; easily to read and has plenty color photos to illustrate the pathologic details. The references are also up to date. It is a very good reference book for renal pathologists as well as for general surgical pathologists who intemperate medical renal diseases.
