An excellent primer on kidney disease by Dr. Patrick T. Coates (Adelaide, Australia) 5 Stars
September 12, 2007
This book provides all of the basic information necessary for general practitioners, medical students and resident medical officers for the management of kidney disease patients. I would recommend this book to anyone needing a good start to renal medicine. In particular the quality of the illustrations and clarity of the text make it an excellent starting point for those wishing to treat and understand renal disease. It is also very good value for money.
