Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very good book but can be improved.I would recommend this book for anyone interested in Nephrology. It has excellent illustrations and covers most topics thouroughly. However, transplant section and hypertension could have been better.Most of all it is not expensive! Rating:  - Very good Nephrology BookI think its a very good book for IM residents in general and for those who aspir to become Nephrology fellow in particular. I would highly recommend it to every first year fellow as a starting book and then shift to other books... It is not too detailed and very uptodate and by NKF and best of all it is not $300 ...it only $40. Paper is glossy and figures are good. Enjoy reading ! Rating: - Grand knowledge, Affordable PriceThanks for producing a medical book that does not cost $200 +. This will help my husband, a Family Practice Physician, and myself, a Registered Dietitian. Thanks. Rating: - primer on kidney diseaseTHIS IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK ON NEPHROLOGY, IT'S CONCISE AND VERY WELL ILLUSTRATED, PROBABLY THE BEST INTRODUCTORY BOOK ON NEPHROLOGY, BUT PROBABLY NOT AS COMPREHENSIVE AS THOSE 100 LB BOOKS. Rating: - Great text for those interested in nephrologyI am a medicine resident interested in nephrology. This book starts out with the basics of renal anatomy/physiology, approach to patients with kidney disease, and goes on to define/classify, and provide an outline for diagnosis/therapy of common kidney disorders. Its depth suits perfectly medicine residents, and probably, as others have mentioned, fellows starting their training. Those looking for a more in-depth text might consider Johnson&Feehaly's Comprehensive Clinical nephrology.
