Comprehensive in scope, it details the key pathophysiologic, diagnostic, and treatment issues in clinical nephrology, including the approach to the patient with kidney disease, the pathogenesis of renal disease, acid-based and electrolyte disturbances, hypertension, renal replacement therapy, and renal transplantation. A perfect portable companion, it delivers quick, easy access to key information.
