The Kidney of the Critically Ill Pregnant Woman 1st Edition

The Kidney of the Critically Ill Pregnant Woman — 1st Edition by Jorge Hidalgo, Carlos Montufar, and Javier Perez-Fernandez is an authoritative, clinically focused guide for managing renal complications in pregnancy. Tailored for intensivists, nephrologists, obstetricians, and midwives, this book bridges obstetric medicine and critical care with clear, evidence-based strategies.

Begin with a concise overview of physiology and pathophysiology unique to pregnancy, then move into practical chapters on diagnosis, monitoring, and management of acute kidney injury (AKI), preeclampsia-related renal dysfunction, sepsis-associated renal failure, and renal replacement therapies adapted for the pregnant patient. Case studies, algorithmic approaches, and up-to-date references make complex decisions straightforward at the bedside.

Readers gain immediately applicable skills: rapid recognition of renal deterioration in the maternal-fetal context, tailored fluid and hemodynamic management, indications and modalities for dialysis in pregnancy, and considerations for neonatal outcomes. Emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration and real-world scenarios makes the text invaluable for hospitals in high-resource centers and resource-limited settings alike.
