Good summary of various kidney diseases and treatments
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Even though I am non-specialist in a field of nephrology, this book is not too difficult to read and understand. Also, this book has summarized various kidney diseases and respective treatment very well. But, as for the section of transplant, I think this kind of book should provide more information as like as the immunosuppress drugs which are under development. I beleive hope is the best therapy for patients with chronic diseases.
