The kidney plays a vital role in certain endocrine functions. Abnormalities caused by toxic chemicals or other interventions can have profound effects on these functions and consequently, on total functions. Updated to reflect the latest research in the field, Toxicology of the Kidney, Third Edition focuses on the correlation between anatomy, biochemistry and physiology of the kidney. The text explains how this correlation is related to concepts of clinical nephrotoxicity and renal failure in humans and how animal models can be used to understand the mechanisms of human renal disease. > The kidney plays a vital role in certain endocrine functions.
