Reviews

This is a comprehensive review of hypertension with an essential emphasis on the manifestation of high blood pressure in individuals with chronic kidney disease. ... the book is suitable primarily for nephrologists, fellows in training, and all other allied kidney disease associates, such as dialysis nurses, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners with a nephrology practice focus. ... The full-color figures help illustrate the concepts. (Kenneth Kafui Afenya, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
