Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This book not only comprehensively reviews the pathogenesis of renal diseases, it also offers guidance on making appropriate clinical decisions. … This is an excellent tool for nephrologists from fellows to clinicians, as well as for medical students who have a more than average interest in nephrology. … This is a very good resource for nephrology fellows looking to acquire a quick yet thorough overview of renal diseases as well as how to diagnose and treat them.” (Annick Edon, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2015)Editors and Affiliations
