Neuropathies - A Global Clinical Guide

Although the training in and the therapy of neuropathy is of outstanding
level in Hungary, even by international measures, this frontier specialty of
medicine does not receive proper attention either in medical education
or in everyday clinical practice.
This volume has been authored by 28 internationally renowned, key
opinion leaders in Hungary, with the objective of providing readers with
a comprehensive review of neuropathies of diverse aetiology - from
somatic to autonomic. It is unique in its undertaking to epitomize the
diverse and complex syndromes of nervous system impairment in a
holistic but essentially medical approach. Although diabetic neuropathy
is at the centre of the discussion, a number of other disease forms are
expounded in detail. These include the variants associated with alcoholic
or non-alcoholic liver disease, haematological conditions, chronic renal
impairment, immunological and central nervous disorders, along with
neuropathy in paediatric and adolescent patients, as well as the complex
challenge of the diabetic foot.
In addition to this wealth of information, there is an in-depth treatise
on current therapeutic options, complete with theoretical and practical
guidance based on the latest scientific data and findings from clinical
studies.
This book may well attract the attention of professionals from many
specialties, such as of diabetologists, neurologists, family practitioners,
cardiologists, gastroenterologists, and all clinicians involved in the
management of patients with neuropathy.
