5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on renal problems in Asian-Pacific region., May 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Asian Nephrology (Hardcover)

This is an excellent resource on nephrological problems prevalent in the Asian countries. It provides an in-depth review of some specific diseases like acute renal failure in India, South Africa and Sri Lanka. The pattern of glomerulonephritis in Japan, Taiwan and other countries of the region has been reviewed in detail. I find the book very interesting and useful for rare tropical problems like snake-bite and leptospirosis and also for the problems of malnutrition and tuberculosis in relation to renal disease. The contributors are internationally renowned nephrologists who have in-depth knowledge of these specific problems. I would like to see more monographs on renal diseases relating to tropical countries.
