Product Description
Abstract: Early detection and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) hold the promise of decreasing the risk of complications of CKD and preventing kidney failure. One of the challenges, however, is that the early stages of CKD are silent and are detectable only through laboratory analyses. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) remains the most accurate index of kidney function--and is thus key to early management of the disease. In this article, Drs Manjunath, Sarnak, and Levey offer information on how best to estimate GFR and outline limitations of using prediction equations. ... Read more

These chapters, grouped by major disease categories, utilize molecular and cellular pathophysiology of disease to provide unique and comprehensive information of the current state of the art on all known childhood kidney diseases. Each chapter makes new genetic information easily understandable for the practitioner, and uses many algorithms and diagrams to describe appropriate clinical evaluation of symptoms, differential diagnosis, specific diagnostics, and currently available therapies. The text is not only found in University/Hospital libraries, but on the shelves of sub-specialists, pediatricians, internists, urologists, and extensively in the clinics where it is used during clinical encounters with childhood kidney disease.

disappointed
The fifth edition was one of the best books I had ever seen and so, I was eagerly waiting for this edition.It still has the same high standards, but I am disappointed at the number of typos and bad grammar throughout the book that makes it unreadable.The editors should have taken more care.

The Definitive Work
In the 5th edition of what has become the standard text in the field, the editors have achieved their goal of producing a definitive, comprehensive textbook.The book blends new data emerging from the explosion of genomics with an authoritative, complete and well-balanced coverage of all aspects of clinical pediatric nephrology. This book should be on the shelf of all nephrologists, pediatricians, internists, urologists, and allied health care professionals who care for children with kidney disease around the world.

Easy to comprehend
Very easy to read for people that speak other language than english. Most complete review in pediatric nephrology. ... Read more
