Pediatric Nephrology is the premier comprehensive reference on congenital and acquired kidney diseases and their therapies in children. Section One opens with an overview of the anatomy, physiology, and biology of the pediatric kidney, critical to understanding disease. Section Two covers the evaluation, diagnosis, and therapy of specific kidney disorders. The book has an international focus, and is well knows for describing how research developments are applied in the clinical arena
