Similarly, in increasing numbers,  elderly persons present themselves with renal complaints to their  family doctor, the geriatrician or the nephrologist. \u003cbr\u003e  In August 1998, with the financial support of the John A. Hartford  Foundation, leaders in geriatrics, nephrology and urology met in  Jasper, Alberta, for one week to discuss their areas of special  knowledge and to learn from each other. Geriatricians learned from  nephrologists, nephrologists learned from geriatricians, and both came  to see that they had much in common. \u003cbr\u003e  All participants discovered a common interest, challenge and  commitment, namely, to provide the best renal care to a progressively  aging population and to teach their fellows the principles of the  other collaborating specialties. \u003cbr\u003e  This book contains all the papers presented at this meeting and also  the text of group discussions on Training and Education, Special  Clinical Problems in Geriatric Patients, and Recommendations in Basic  and Clinical Research. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eNephrology and Geriatrics Integrated\u003c\/em\u003e will prove useful to both  nephrologists and geriatricians in their efforts to manage the renal  complaints of the elderly, who come to them in increasing numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792361817\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4088-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 243\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312537194636,"sku":"9780792361817","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792361817.jpg?v=1771526249","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792361817","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
