Overview
In this era of evidence-based medicine, one of the biggest challenges confronting clinicians is keeping abreast with often rapidly changing recommendations that guide clinical practice. While it is clearly helpful to have research-based guidelines and protocols to draw upon it is not always easy to access this information particularly at the time when it is needed most such as on a ward round or in a busy outpatient clinic. These evidence-based guidelines, produced by national organisations (The Renal Association, British Hypertension Society, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) and international organisations (International Society of Nephrology, National Kidney Federation- KDOQI) are often found in a variety of locations and published media and therefore timely access is not always possible.This textbook is designed to overcome this problem. The editors have produced a comprehensive textbook of nephrology which focuses on aspects of renal disease that are important to the clinician, and in it have brought together the key recommendations found in current evidence-based guidelines and presented them in a uniform and accessible format. It has been designed and written so that locating information is both quick and simple, and the layout of the chapters allows the reader to identify and assimilate information rapidly.

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 *
