The new edition of this valuable clinical resource offers a state of the art, comprehensive review on every clinical condition encountered in pediatric nephrology. International experts present the latest knowledge on epidemiology, diagnosis, management, and prognosis in one concise, clinically focused text, in which care has been taken to couple just the right amount of "need-to-know" basic science with practical clinical guidance that will enable the reader to make efficient, informed decisions. The topics covered include: disorders of renal development, glomerular disorders, the kidney and systemic disease, renal tubular disorders, tubulointerstitial disease, urinary tract disorders, acute kidney injury, hypertension, chronic and end-stage renal disease, and renal replacement therapy. The full-color, highly visual, meticulously crafted format will ensure that the practitioner is able to source and apply information with remarkable ease.

Professor Franz Schaefer, MD, leads the Pediatric Nephrology Division at the Center for Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at Heidelberg University Hospital. Franz has a 25-year track record in clinical and experimental research in paediatric kidney diseases. He founded and coordinates several international clinical research consortia such as the ESCAPE Network (50 active European paediatric nephrology centres), the International Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Network (IPPN, 80 active centres globally) and the PodoNet Consortium for Clinical, Genetic and Experimental Research into Hereditary Diseases of the Podocyte (65 active centres globally). The Division runs a molecular nephrology lab fully equipped for gene diagnostic services, animal and cell culture research, RNA, protein and histochemistry studies. He is coordinator of EURenOmics, one of RD-Connect's key scientific partner projects. Doctor Denis Geary, MBBCh, received his Paediatric Nephrology training at the University of Florida in Gainesville, The Hospital for Sick Children at Great Ormond St, and Guy's Hospital, London, UK. Dr. Geary joined the Division of Nephrology at The Hospital for Sick Children as Staff Nephrologist and Director of Hemodialysis. He was appointed Chief of the Division of Nephrology in 1997, and was reappointed in 2002 for a second five-year term. He is currently Chairman of the Patient Care Committee, The Hospital for Sick Children, and past-President of the Canadian Association of Paediatric Nephrologists.

"This is certainly a superb resource for postgraduate trainees and other nephrology physicians. It has excellent, well designed, and very clear tabular depictions of the salient features. The figures certainly are helpful ... . Most of the chapters are about the perfect length and provide appropriate information about the subject. I commend the contributors and the editors for their thoroughness and clarity of writing, augmented by current references." (Aftab Chishti, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2017)
