Review :
"Brenner and Rector's The Kidney is the epitome of references on renal information and learning. The language is easy to understand and follows the accepted nomenclature. The images and overall visual representations are beautiful composed. This update is justified considering the new information and challenges brought to light regarding the kidney. This is the top nephrology reference for medical practitioners." -Juan-Carlos Aycinena, MD (University of Kentucky College of Medicine) Doody's Score: 95 - 4 Stars! "The new edition of The Kidney, is a tour de force, edited by outstanding nephrologists and authored by internationally renowned experts. Its comprehensiveness for renal specialists beautifully complements Goldman-Cecil Medicine's overview for non-nephrologists." -Lee Goldman, author of Goldman-Cecil Medicine

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
