{"product_id":"9780792350491","title":"Diabetic Renal-Retinal Syndrome: 21st Century Management Now","description":"\u003ch1\u003eDiabetic Renal-Retinal Syndrome: 21st Century Management Now\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFriedman, E.A.; L'Esperance Jr., Francis A.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter a decade or longer, approximately one-third of  individuals with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes commence a downhill  course in which decreasing renal function and failing vision define a  Renal-Retinal Syndrome, dominating all aspects of life and presaging  early death. Only a generation ago, survival after onset of end-stage  renal disease (ESRD) in diabetes was limited because rehabilitation  was preempted by blindness, limb amputation, stroke, and heart  disease. By 1998, however, team management has improved the outlook,  with preserved sight and return to work and home responsibilities,  usually for a decade or longer, following kidney transplantation and  laser photocoagulation. Recognition of the critical requirement for  blood pressure regulation and metabolic control are central themes in  management. \u003cbr\u003e  In this unique book, the accomplishments of ophthalmologists,  nephrologists, diabetologists, transplant surgeons, and basic  scientists are blended into a strategic approach that may be readily  applied by all those caring for diabetic patients. Each of twenty-one  presentations suitable for primary care physicians, as well as for  subspecialists concerned with macrovascular and microvascular  complications of diabetes, is placed in perspective by an introductory  editorial analysis. Promising near-term innovative therapies,  including insertion of genetically engineered beta cells or  polymer-coated islets of Langerhans, interdiction of kinins that  promote retinal angiogenesis, and prevention of synthesis of advanced  glycosylated endproducts (AGEs), are presented in detail. While  comprehensive care of diabetic patients reflects multiple incremental  advances that in sum afford major benefit, this text envisions further  remarkable changes likely to suppress and possibly entirely prevent  the Diabetic Renal-Retinal Syndrome.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792350491\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4962-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 284\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312375648396,"sku":"9780792350491","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792350491.jpg?v=1771524927","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792350491","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
