Reviews

“This is certainly a superb resource for postgraduate trainees and other nephrology physicians. It has excellent, well designed, and very clear tabular depictions of the salient features. The figures certainly are helpful … . Most of the chapters are about the perfect length and provide appropriate information about the subject. I commend the contributors and the editors for their thoroughness and clarity of writing, augmented by current references.” (Aftab Chishti, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)
