Description
Recommended in the Brandon/Hill selected list of print books and journals for the small medical library - April 2001 & 2003 Now in one condensed volume, the fully revised Fourth Edition of this comprehensive nephrology text bridges the gap between the fundamental and applied aspects of the discipline. The book covers all areas of nephrology ranging from renal anatomy to dialysis and transplantation in pediatric and adult patients. The book contains fourteen sections with 186 chapters written by over 300 contributors. Chapters are divided into parts with 10-15 annotated readings being provided at the end of each part. This enables the reader to find additional information on specific topics quickly and efficiently. An atlas of renal pathology and an entire section covering laboratory procedures and techniques are also included
