Ordinary book 
I am a fellow of Nephrology at University of Vermont.I have used this book occasionly , due to the reason as it is a bit bulky to carry in white coat.I wish it was more portable.Secondly main reason I say its ordinary book because the information is not very updated and the science of therapeutics is changing.It does not talk in detail about high flux dialyzer clearence of drugs.
I will recommend it to my fellow colleagues in Nephrology to use but not to rely solely on it.

Needs an Update
As a nephrology fellow I found the concise tabular format in this book very useful and reassuring while beginning my consultation months. I still like the basic idea behind its publication, but am increasingly disappointed. Much of the dosing information is readily available now for free, and it is frequently more accessible on palmbased programs such as epocrates and medscape that avoid the need for carrying multiple pocket references. I would like to see the text regularly updated, go beyond data available in existing palm programs, such as including recommendations/cautions regarding drug combinations for transplant recipients, discuss intraperitoneal dosing for CAPD patients on relevant medications, include critical liver metabolism pathways (i.e. P450 enzymes systems) so interactions with other meds might be better predicted. I would enthusiastically support adding a palmtop version to the appropriately updated text.

A must have for clinicians! 
Very helpful, quick reference for Physicians, Pharmacists and Nurses to determine possible effects of renal disease on drug disposition.

Survival Source 
After completing a residency in internal medicine/pediatrics and using many other sources to decide on renal drug dosing I have been most delighted with the introduction to this one at the beginning of my nephrology fellowship. The very rapid accessible concise format of key essentials I need for patients with temporary or chronic renal failure are also adjusted for types of renal replacement therapy. Only suggestion I have is: please update with new addition and more meds included as soon as possible. Wish I had known about this book from the first day of my internship.

A must for anyone caring for renal patients.
As a Renal Case Manager, this book has been quite valuable to me in the care of my patients. If I have a question about dosing guidelines for my patients I have a quick and easy source to guide me in my decisions. The drugs are divided into different classes for easy access to the information. This book is a must for any member of your renal team.
