Online Resources

AccessMedicine
AccessMedicine is an online system licensed by the UIC Library which includes the online full-text of 10 major medical reference books such as Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine. Part 2 addresses disease presentation and manifestation, and part 12 addresses disorders of the kidney and urinary tract. These and other related chapters from this text may be useful for this case. You may also want to explore the range of titles available in the LANGE Educational Library.

ACP Medicine
ACP Medicine provides authoritative clinical information across the 15 sub-specialties of internal medicine including Nephrology. Once you select ACP Medicine, click on the Titles tab at the top. Then click on the arrow to the left of ACP Medicine which will expand the contents for browsing (you'll find chapter 10 deals with nephrology). You can also search across the contents through the search box at the top of the screen. For example, try searching for obstructive uropathy.

MD Consult
MD Consult is an online system licensed by the UIC Library which offers over 50 online full-text medical reference books. For example, you can browse Cecil Medicine. You may find section XI particularly useful. The books can be browsed individually by title, table of contents, or the back-of-the-book indexes. Topic searches can also be performed across all titles.
