Reviews
'Kidney disease is a major public health problem worldwide. Acute kidney injury, irrespective of cause, is a serious condition with high mortality; one of eight people suffers from chronic kidney disease. Appropriate knowledge about kidney disease is thus essential for all clinicians. The fourth edition of Integrated Systematic Nephrology covers all crucial aspects of kidney disease, and offers useful guidance for daily clinical practice. The book provides important information on topics ranging from pathogenic mechanisms to the management of kidney diseases, and is filled with beautiful figures and photographs. Medical students, residents, and board-certified doctors will enjoy and learn a lot from this book.' -Masaomi Nangaku, President of the Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology (2019-2022); President of the International Society of Nephrology (2023-2025)
