From the book reviews:

This is an excellent, multiauthored overview of pediatric nephrology. & The book would most benefit students, residents, and fellows with a focused interest in pediatric nephrology. & This manual is certainly a very good resource for general pediatricians, but it also can serve as a very reliable source of review for various levels of pediatric postgraduate trainees. & I will definitely recommend it as a quick guide to all pediatricians and pediatric nephrology trainees.
