Reviews

`This is a timely publication that will be welcomed by all clinicians ... covers all aspects of diabetic nephropathy, from epidemiology to pathophysiology and management. ... clear and concise ... This should be essential reading for all nephrologists and will find a place in the libraries of all renal units managing patients with end-stage renal failure.'
