Reviews

“This book presents case-based synopses of dialysis-related pediatric nephrology topics. … This is certainly an excellent guide for pediatric nephrology postgraduate trainees and also for pediatric dialysis professionals who wish to expand their knowledge base and their understanding the concepts behind standard-of-care pediatric dialysis techniques and protocols. … This excellent case-based, patient care guide provides current standards of care and educational concepts behind pediatric dialysis practice. … This is a very readable, current, and practical guide.” (Aftab S. Chishti, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2018)
