 no consistency October 24, 2009
Carrie Elizabeth Jung
the primer is written by several different individual doctors, so some chapters are well written, while others aren't. it's also hard to follow because some concepts are defined slightly different than others.
great book, but it will be outdated in a few weeks January 8, 2009

This is a great overview of nephrology for any medical resident, general practitioner or even a renal fellow. Lots of images, tables and graphics enhance the reading experience. I wish I had known that a new updated version would come out in a few weeks, then I would have waited a little longer with my purchase.
Very good book but can be improved. October 15, 2007

I would recommend this book for anyone interested in Nephrology. It has excellent illustrations and covers most topics thouroughly. However, transplant section and hypertension could have been better.Most of all it is not expensive!
 Very good Nephrology Book August 30, 2007
Tariq Rehman
I think its a very good book for IM residents in general and for those who aspir to become Nephrology fellow in particular.
I would highly recommend it to every first year fellow as a starting book and then shift to other books...
It is not too detailed and very uptodate and by NKF and best of all it is not $300 ...it only $40.
Paper is glossy and figures are good.
Enjoy reading !

Thanks for producing a medical book that does not cost $200 +. This will help my husband, a Family Practice Physician, and myself, a Registered Dietitian. Thanks.
