Chapter Two focuses on idiopathic membranous nephropathy, the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults who do not suffer from diabetes mellitus. Chapter Three details the emerging worldwide prevalence of myopathies, their evolving diagnostic parameters, and the newer therapeutic modalities. Chapter Four includes a review of medroxyprogesterone, which is a type of progestin that is used as a long-lasting injectable contraceptive and for the treatment of hormone-dependent tumours. Chapter Five describes synovial fluid, which lubricates and cushions joints during motion, and the effects of visco-supplements on the function of synovial fluid.
