Rezensionen

"Overall, this is a nice summary of a broad range of
topics for students of the specialty. The second edition provides
an update on management of common complications in chronic kidney
disease and updates the useful appendixes. The format makes for a
book that is easy to follow and informative, and the very
impressive figures will allow me to use it in my daily nephrology
practice." (Doody's, 6 September 2013)
