Dialysis amyloidosis is a syndrome observed in dialysis patients characterized initially by joint pain, followed later by joint destruction.

It is at present one of the few compliations in these patients.

The factors involved in the genesis of this syndrome are not yet known with certainty and there is as yet no proven efficacious treatment otehr then renal transplantation.

As a result, the interest in this topic among nephrologists remains very high.

Dialysis amyloid gives general information on the pathophysiology, and the clinical aspects of all types of amyloidosis.

It then goes on to discuss recently discovered B2, type of dialysis amyloidosis, from clinical and pathological features to physiological and pathophysiological aspects of this serious complication which effects patients suffering from chronic renal failure.

This book will give nephrologists and rheumatologists a clear understanding of the dialysis amyloidosis syndrome as well as making a valuable contribution to identifying strategies for treatment and prevention.

Reviews for Dialysis Amyloid

`this book achieves a balance between clinical topics which will appeal to all practising nephrologists, and more fundamental aspects of amyloidosis which will interest anyone trying to unravel this challenging disorder.' P.E. Gower, Charing Cross Hospital, London, Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of London. Vol. 32, No. 1 January/February 1998 `In General this is an excellent book and gives much useful information relating to this distressing condition...A useful feature of this book is the extensive list of references at the end of each chapter...The chapters are well written, the book is well balanced, the illustrations appropriate and the index comprehensive. It is therefore a text which can be recommended to those seeking a greater understanding of the subject.' Nephrol Dial Transplant, 1998, 13: 1904-8
