Rees L et al. (2007) Paediatric Nephrology. Oxford: Oxford University Press

This comprehensive, pocket-size, flexicover handbook—one of the Oxford Medical Publications series—is excellent. It is not only suited to the busy pediatric nephrologist, but it also presents a very readable, understandable and useful guide to the investigation and management of acute and chronic kidney conditions and diseases in childhood to the general pediatrician, the trainee pediatric nephrologist and others involved in the clinical care of children with renal disease. The authors—Lesley Rees, Nicholas Webb and Paul Brogan—have achieved their aim of creating a text that is decidedly clinically relevant, very therapy-oriented, and highly practical. They have deliberately not included excessive detail on pathogenesis and mechanisms of disease.
