Clinical Decisions in Nephrology, Hypertension and Kidney Transplantation

From the reviews: "The goal is to provide a resource for medical residents and fellows on the variety of kidney diseases. This book is a helpful resource for physicians practicing in a variety of settings. ... The book presents all the relevant information in fairly lucid manner without compromising on the details. ... I would strongly recommend this book for nephrology fellows and medical residents who are interested in nephrology." (Vamsi Rokkam, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2013)
