Reviews

`The first edition of this textbook was published in 2006 which quickly became one of my favorite books because the information was brief, concise, and practically useful in a busy clinical practice when time was scarce. This edition has been substantially improved and is even more comprehensive. I would highly recommend this handy reference work, useful for both experienced and less experienced colleagues.'
The Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association
`The book manages to cover all aspects from cellular biology to carrying out practical procedures and for this reason you can see why it would be in the pockets of most practicing nephrologists.'
Journal of Renal Nursing
`I am amazed at how clearly and succinctly the essential information is presented. ...no detail is left out, making this an easy and coherent read.'
