The text has been completely revised to reflect new research and treatments. The chapters are written to be self-contained with critical discussion of clinical trials and recommendations for treatment as well as an outline of basic concepts in patient management. There are 96 contributors who teach and practice renal medicine in U.S, Canada, Europe, and Hong Kong.
