Review of the previous edition "Students in their pre-clinical years will find this book an excellent and thorough introduction to the renal system and may well struggle without a book of this calibre... This is a book that should be on the bookshelf of all medical students, there's no excuse not to have a copy! In addition, undergraduates from life science/health allied disciplines and clinicians are likely to find this book useful as a source of reference." —GKT Gazette, September 2006

I have been battling understanding the renal system and renal diseases for a long time now, and this book as finally helped me come to terms with it. It presents the information in a neatly summarised way and in a manner that really helped me let it sink in. Each page has a full page diagram(s) that summarise the points that are explained on the opposite page - often the diagrams are good enough for me to use on their own without reading the details opposite. A great book for cramming for exams and for coming to grips with the area.

A good book, which is quite informative
