Recenzje

`Dr. Maher should be congratulated on editing this important work. All nephrologists should not only buy a copy of this third edition, they should read it.'
Nephron, 54:1 (1990)
`The third edition follows the format of the former two, bringing together many of the world's foremost authorities to compile `state of the art' reviews on the varied aspects of dialysis and related treatments.'
The Literature of Medicine
`I recommend this book to all teachers and serious students of renal replacement therapy - even if you have purchased previously one of the first two editions.'
Dialysis & Transplantation, 1990
'In summary, this text should be readily available to all involved in providing renal replacement therapy.'
Children's Medical Center, 6:2
`The standard reference book for the artificial kidney world.'
JAMA
`The aims of the authors - to produce a standard text for nephrologists and those with an interest in today's treatment of renal failure - is fully achieved.'
Urological Research
`A superb book ... the detail and depth of discussions are unequalled in any current nephrology text.'
Mayo Clinic Proceedings
