Review :
`In summary, this text should be readily available to all involved in providing renal replacement therapy.' Pediatric Nephrology `Seventy eight instead of 64 international contributors have produced this masterly tome on a topical subject. The editors, who come from Amsterdam, Leeds and Bethesda respectively, state correctly that not a single chapter has remained unaltered and all have been rewritten rather than simply revised and updated. Well illustrated and referenced, it is a bigger and better book.' British Medical Journal, 288 (1984) `Those of us with a strong interest in being able to discuss the detailed biological and kinetic aspects of dialysis and hemofiltration treatment will want regular access to Replacement of Renal Function. No comparable book exists and this one is well done.' Dialysis and Transplantation `This textbook is a major contribution to the literature on the care of dialysis patients for the specialist and generalist alike ... the depth and clarity of this text and the extensive bibliography following each chapter make it an essential addition to the library of persons who encounter either the dialyne or clinical problems of the uremic patient.' Annals of Internal Medicine `The editors have aimed for and achieved nearly superhuman completeness in their survey of relevant dialysis therapy topics ... This is a volume with a well-defined audience, the practicing nephrologist, for whom it will be continuously useful. Perhaps our best advice for those who purchase this book would be for them to place it in a highly accessible location, and expect to use it incessantly.' Contemporary Dialysis
