'The comprehensiveness of the textbook makes this a valuable reference for nephrology nurses. It would be a worthwhile addition to the library of any renal unit.' Anna Journal, 19:4 (1992) 'Although many nephrology texts have been published recently, Dr. George Schriner's claim in the foreword that this one is unique must be correct. I know of no other book that is devoted essentially to details of the day to day practival therapeutics of renal diseases. Each topic has a full account of aetiological, clinical, and diagnostic features as a firm basis for a critical analysis of the therapeutic options. ...no medical library can afford to be without one.' British Medical Journal, 290 (1985) '...this book is an excellent and welcome addition to standard nephrology texts. It is refreshingly bright, unique in its approach to therapy in renal disease, and, for me, a book to call upon continually for common clinical problems.' Dialysis and Transplantation (1986) 'This is a book which is unique among many books available today. This is a book which thinks positively. This is a book which blends the analytical aspects of diagnosis with the hard realities of scientific and appropriate therapy. This is a book that will be enjoyed by young nephrologists and by physicians with a wide diversity of interest. Most of all, it is a book that will be deeply appreciated by their patients.' George E. Schreiner, Georgetown University School of Medicine (from the Foreword)
