| - 'The Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology is a core text for nephrologists and this third edition is no exception. With its international authorship and editorial panel this book represents the up-to-date opinion the evidence base of medicine for the renal patient... This is an excellent reference text for all nephrologists and a must for every medical library.
' - Hospital Doctor
- 'A superb reference for nephrologists. Comprehensive, authoritative, well referenced and succinctly written text. Generously illustrated and delightfully bound in three volumes for the old fashioned reader with a CD-ROM of equal quality for the more modern. I would hate to be without it' - BMA Medical Book Competition 2006

| Description | | - A new edition of the most highly respected European textbook of clinical nephrology
- Illustrated in colour throughout
- Comprehensively updated and evidence-based
- Marries scientific advances with clinical management
- Numerous clinical management algorithms
- Integrated CD-ROM
| New to this edition- New chapters on: age and renal disease, nephrology as practised in countries of different stages of socio-economic development, evidence-based nephrology, clinical outcomes, clinical audit and moral and ethical issues
|
Unequivocally the most relevant and important European textbook of clinical nephrology. This is the most authoritative, well written and comprehensive textbook of clinical nephrology combining the clinical aspects of renal disease important for the daily clinical practice whilst giving extensive information about the underlying basic science and current evidence available.
This new
edition highlights the numerous changes in clinical management that have arisen as a result of recently concluded clinical trials and there are now specific formal guidelines for optimal treatment of patients. Each section of the textbook has been critically and comprehensively edited under the auspices of one of the leading experts in the field.
The text for this third edition has been
ruthlessly edited, balanced, updated and pitched at the adult nephrologist. The emphasis throughout is on marrying advances in scientific research with clinical management. Where possible treatment algorithms are included to aid patient care.
By comparison with other texts, Oxford Textbook of Clinical Nephrology
has more than average coverage of paediatric issues. For this edition there
has been increased focus on age and renal disease, nephrology as practised in countries of different stages of socio-economic development, evidence-based nephrology, clinical outcomes, clinical audit and moral and ethical issues.
Richly illustrated throughout in full colour this is truly a modern and attractive edition with comprehensive coverage of everything that has to do with clinical
nephrology written by the world's experts in the respective fields.
A major advantage is inclusion of a fully searchable CD-ROM packaged with this edition.
