"Critical Care Nephrology still continues to provide an impressive up-to-date comprehensive coverage…This book undoubtedly is of great value for all physicians who deal with critically ill patients and renal failure and is therefore highly recommended." Netherlands Journal of Critical Care, December 2009
''A unique strength of the book is its emphasis on the multidisciplinary nature of the subject, and the notion that collective expertise is fundamental to the optimisation of patient clinical outcomes. Superb readability, particularly in relation to renal replacement therapy in the critical care environment, make this a valuable clinical and educational resource to all of those involved in the care of this patient population.''
