5.0 out of 5 stars Great text for those interested in nephrology, October 1, 2005

By	Zygimantas Alsauskas "Zygimantas" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Primer on Kidney Diseases (Greenberg, Primer on Kidney) (Paperback)

I am a medicine resident interested in nephrology. This book starts out with the basics of renal anatomy/physiology, approach to patients with kidney disease, and goes on to define/classify, and provide an outline for diagnosis/therapy of common kidney disorders. Its depth suits perfectly medicine residents, and probably, as others have mentioned, fellows starting their training. Those looking for a more in-depth text might consider Johnson&Feehaly's Comprehensive Clinical nephrology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for IM residents, July 16, 2004

By	"happy-img" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Primer on Kidney Diseases (Paperback)

If you are looking for a comprehensive introduction to kidney disease as a resident - this is the book. It has as much information as you would want as a resident (probably more than you want!). Great reference for renal fellows who are just starting out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book but can be improved., October 15, 2007

By	Marios Prikis (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Primer on Kidney Diseases (Greenberg, Primer on Kidney) (Paperback)

I would recommend this book for anyone interested in Nephrology. It has excellent illustrations and covers most topics thouroughly. However, transplant section and hypertension could have been better.Most of all it is not expensive!
