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)
