About this book

Renal Failure, Diagnosis & Treatment is a practical book that provides a comprehensive description of the evaluation of renal insufficiency. It teaches the physician how to recognise the tell-tale signs of the diseases that cause kidney failure and how to confirm their presence in an efficient manner. Major teaching points are reinforced by the presentation of 20 problem cases for the reader's diagnosis. The book also details the general management of the patient with renal failure and the treatment of various causative diseases.

Reviews

`It takes a different approach to renal disease. ... a guide for the practising physician, ... to evaluate, diagnose, and manage patients with renal failure. ... abundant use of tables and diagrams such that in a small space, much information is given. ... fresh and original insight into renal diseases; we enjoyed reading it, as would all those who are attracted by kidney physiology and pathology.'
The Lancet, 348 (1996)
`... each chapter is well written and comprehensive. The two appendices ... will be of particular value. In general this will be a useful book for the trainee in nephrology and one which should be available in all renal units.'
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 13 (1998)
