The launch of the book Concept of Renal Disease: A Comprehensive Guide to Nephrology for Undergraduates by Ms. Kynjailin Syiemlieh and Dr. Kanu Shil marks a significant contribution to the academic landscape of medical and paramedical education. Designed with precision and depth, this textbook serves as a vital learning resource for undergraduate students, particularly those pursuing studies in dialysis technology, nursing, and allied health sciences. It explores the fundamental and clinical aspects of nephrology, offering a detailed overview of renal pathophysiology and a wide range of kidney disorders such as acute and chronic kidney disease, nephrotic syndrome, pyelonephritis, and hypertension-induced renal complications.
The book stands out for its clear, evidence-based content presentation, aimed at enhancing both theoretical knowledge and clinical understanding. It further delves into specialized topics like renal osteodystrophy, anemia in chronic kidney disease, pregnancy-related renal complications, and renal tumors, making it a well-rounded academic tool. The inclusion of user-friendly features such as a glossary, chapter-wise summaries, and multiple-choice questions makes it an accessible and examination-oriented guide for students.
Ms. Kynjailin Syiemlieh brings to this work her profound expertise in renal dialysis, shaped by her academic excellence and hands-on clinical experience at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital under Apollo Dialysis Private Limited. Currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Assam Down Town University, she is dedicated to grooming future professionals in renal healthcare. Her co-author, Dr. Kanu Shil, a faculty member in the Department of Paramedical Sciences at the same university, complements the book with his strong academic foundation in physiology and a passion for making complex subjects understandable and clinically relevant.
Together, the authors have created a textbook that not only supports the academic journey of students but also equips them with the confidence and competence to excel in the field of nephrology. This release is expected to set a new benchmark in medical education resources and contribute meaningfully to quality healthcare training.
