While various glomerular disorders account for the most cases of end stage renal failure, the etio-pathogenesis of these conditions intrigued many investigators for decades. A clear knowledge of the etiology and pathogenesis is crucial for developing novel strategies to prevent and to treat these disorders. Notwithstanding the continuous emergence of new discoveries, we still have a long way to get any closer to a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of glomerular injury. “An Update on Glomerulopathies - Etiology and Pathogenesis” is a monograph dedicated to compile recent advances in the experimental and clinical research that examined the etiopathogenesis of various glomerular disorders. The book has fourteen chapters which are.
