Evidence–Based Nephrology

This book covers the management of all major renal diseases from an evidence–based and patient–centred approach. With contributions from leading international experts who have a real understanding of evidence–based medicine it provides recommendations on treatment regimens to adopt for individual patients that are most strongly supported by the evidence.
The inclusion of the latest observational and epidemiological data, as well as randomized controlled trial evidence ensures that the book properly reflects the current state of evidence available for nephrological practice. It will be a useful aid to all clinicians, including those caring for transplant and pediatric patients, as it covers the major clinical questions encountered by nephrologists.
This reference is an invaluable source of evidence–based information distilled into guidance for clinical practice which will be welcomed by practitioners, trainees and associated health professionals.
