Reviews

This is an informative look at IgA nephropathy, one of the most common types of chronic glomerulonephritis in the world. ... This is a resource for those engaged in research or clinical care of patients with IgA nephropathy. It is likely most appropriate for nephrology trainees and those who practice general nephrology, as well as researchers in the field. ... Each chapter is divided into sections, clearly demarcated by objectives, and includes colorful images and figures. (Jon Webb, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
