The book also details the general management of the patient with renal failure and the treatment of various causative diseases.

Reviews

'It takes a different approach to renal disease. ... a guide for the practising physician, ... to evaluate, diagnose, and manage patients with renal failure. ... abundant use of tables and diagrams such that in a small space, much information is given. ... fresh and original insight into renal diseases; we enjoyed reading it, as would all those who are attracted by kidney physiology and pathology.' The Lancet, 348 (1996) '... each chapter is well written and comprehensive. The two appendices ... will be of particular value. In general this will be a useful book for the trainee in nephrology and one which should be available in all renal units.' Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 13 (1998)
