Objectives
Contents It is proposed to provide students with adequate knowledge, related to:
1) Diagnostic use of the interpreted nephro-urological signs and
symptoms in relation to their physiopathogenesis.
2) Pathophysiological, laboratory and instrumental diagnostic procedures
and their indications in nephrological diseases.
3) Systematic nosology of the main nephrological diseases.
4) Basic concepts concerning the criteria and indications of the renal
replacement therapy.
5) Main techniques of substitution therapy of renal function in intensive
care units.
