Reviews

From the reviews:

"The book is focused on clinical problems; each chapter features a clinical case that reinforces the topic that is under discussion. … It is a tool for pediatric nephrologists and pediatric critical care physicians to use in their armamentarium as they treat children with kidney problems in the intensive care setting. For fellows-in-training in both specialties, this book is a must-read … . The strength of this book is that its many authors are experts in both pediatric critical care and pediatric nephrology." (Timothy E. Bunchman, The New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 360 (22), May, 2009)

“Renal problems in the pediatric ICU are frequent, starting with water and electrolyte balance, acid base problems, etc. In recent years issues before and after renal transplantation occur. International experts in pediatric nephrology review and discuss in 21 chapters the above and other problems such as urosepsis renal replacement therapy … . With many tables in color and illustrations. Each chapter includes ‘core messages’. Recommended.” (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 7 (4), June, 2010)
