'Where are all these kidney patients coming from? A Atchley and others studied the effects of hypertension, endocarditis, and circulatory diseases on the kidney and few years ago we never heard of kidney disease and now you are speaking of patients in the hundreds of thou­ spawned successive generations of alert clinical investi­ sands and indeed potentially millions'. My reply, not gators who began to chronicle the natural histories of a meant to be grim, was 'From the cemetery, Sir'. This is wide variety of kidney diseases. Quantitative studies of a summary of some Congressional testimony I once renal function flourished under a school headed by Homer Smith, and surprisingly precise techniques were gave on behalf of extending kidney disease under Medi­ care. Where indeed were all the patients with kidney developed for studying a whole range of explicit nephron disease in the United States before World War II? They functions.

'The comprehensiveness of the textbook makes this a valuable reference for nephrology nurses. It would be a worthwhile addition to the library of any renal unit.' Anna Journal, 19:4 (1992)
`Although many nephrology texts have been published recently, Dr. George Schriner's claim in the foreword that this one is unique must be correct. I know of no other book that is devoted essentially to details of the day to day practival therapeutics of renal diseases. Each topic has a full account of aetiological, clinical, and diagnostic features as a firm basis for a critical analysis of the therapeutic options. ...no medical library can afford to be without one.'
British Medical Journal, 290 (1985)
`...this book is an excellent and welcome addition to standard nephrology texts. It is refreshingly bright, unique in its approach to therapy in renal disease, and, for me, a book to call upon continually for common clinical problems.'
Dialysis and Transplantation (1986)
`This is a book which is unique among many books available today. This is a book which thinks positively. This is a book which blends the analytical aspects of diagnosis with the hard realities of scientific and appropriate therapy. This is a book that will be enjoyed by young nephrologists and by physicians with a wide diversity of interest. Most of all, it is a book that will be deeply appreciated by their patients.'
