Long considered the definitive reference for nephrology practitioners and fellows, Brenner & Rector's The Kidney, marks its 50th anniversary with the publication of this 12th Edition.
This two-volume masterwork provides expert, well-illustrated information on everything from basic science and pathophysiology to clinical best practices, covering the total patient population from preconception to the elderly.
More than 200 expert contributors from 20 countries representing six continents provide a truly global perspective on the treatment and management of renal diseases.
that illustrate essential concepts, nuances of clinical presentation and technique, and clinical decision making
