This is the best handbook on nutrition and kidney diseases I've seen, clearly and concisely presenting as much data as larger books. Over successive editions, the editors have perfected their formula and have managed to make this handbook better and better. - Doody's Book Review (October 2012) Mony Fraer, MD, FACP, FASN(University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics)
