Reviews

This book is very good indeed. The depth of the information is great yet with simple formatting is easy to access. The recommendations follow a logical pattern quickly guiding the reader to the relevant section. The reader can also be reassured that the information is based on the latest evidence. This book is ideal for all who practice in nephrology, whether nurses or doctors. It is also a helpful guide for those who deal with nephrology on a less frequent basis but require the latest information in one volume. Overall, highly recommended. * Journal of Renal Nursing *
