Glomerulopathies: Nephrotic and Nephritic Syndromes | High Specialty Nephrology
Internal Medicine · Clinical Specialties
How it begins
Una aproximación de nivel experto a las entidades más complejas de la nefrología. Desde las bases moleculares de la barrera de filtración hasta las guías KDIGO más recientes para el tratamiento de las glomerulopatías nefróticas y nefríticas primarias y secundarias, pasando por la interpretación ultraestructural y el análisis del sedimento de orina de alta resolución.
