Editorial Reviews

Review

Aus den Rezensionen zur 6. Auflage:

 “... Der Text ist aktuell und sehr klar und präzise formuliert, sodass er sowohl vom jungen Arzt in der kindernephrologischen Sprechstunde als auch vom erfahrenen Kindernephrologen geschätzt wird. Embryologische, pathophysiologische und anatomische Erklärungen werden durch konkrete und praxisnahe Ernpfehlungen zu Diagnostik und Therapie ergänzt. ... Insgesamt haben wir einen eindeutig positiven Eindruck: die sechste Auflage des ‘Avner’s Pediatric Nephrology’ ist ein empfehlenswertes Nachschlagewerk für Kindernephrologen und kindernephrologisch- interessierte Fachärzte.“ (Giacomo Simonetti, in: Pädiatrie up2date, December/2010, Issue 4)

This review is from: Pediatric Nephrology (Avner, Pediatric Nephrology) (Hardcover)

The fifth edition was one of the best books I had ever seen and so, I was eagerly waiting for this edition.It still has the same high standards, but I am disappointed at the number of typos and bad grammar throughout the book that makes it unreadable.The editors should have taken more care.
