"This is a helpful resource for medical students, medicine interns and residents, and nephrology fellows, as well as a reference for teachers of nephrology ... I would recommend this for academic nephrologists and nephrology fellows, but mainly for residents and students on nephrology rotations." (Doody's, 9 March 2012)
"The presentation is lively and the author's experience and enthusiasm for teaching the subject over more than a decade is evident...This book should appeal not only to medical undergraduates but also to trainees in renal diseases and other related specialties." (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, January 2011)"The beauty of this book is that it translates a lot of the very dry information provided in traditional text books into real-life scenarios. The cases are interesting to read and you always like to see if your own management plan corresponds to the expert's one. In summary this is a very useful book for all who work in renal medicine. The clear format makes it suitable for nurses as well as doctors, and explains the rationale behind a lot of the treatment decisions we make. Overall highly recommended." (Journal of Renal Nursing, may 2010)
