Review quotes

"This is a very worthy update. It continues the trend of focusing on evolving trends in nephrology. Each chapter begins with an overview, which makes finding information very simple. I enjoyed the sections on renal physiology with their vivid figures, and the new section on global renal issues, which was very illuminating. I would highly recommend this book for anyone pursuing a career in nephrology or internal medicine."- Hans Dethlefs, MD (Heartland Community Health Network) 5 star Doody Rating!
