This superbly illustrated review provides coverage of the range of issues liable to confront practitioners in the field of clinical nephrology and renal transplantation. Containing questions designed to educate as well as test knowledge, the title features 220 case presentations depicting all aspects of the kidney speciality and will be of use to all those involved in the care of nephrology patients.

The questions are pitched at different levels of expertise and are followed by detailed explanatory answers. The cases appear in random order, just as they would in real life, and enable the reader - by solving the clinical puzzle - to make differential diagnoses, treatment plans and prognoses.

Many illustrations feature clinical photographs and diagnostic imaging, while some questions involve interpretation of biochemical or haematological data. The authors have taken account of the latest developments in the field and the title provides a fully up-to-date review for experienced practitioners and physicians in training.
