Reviews

'In summary, this single volume textbook of renal pathology is characterized by a 3-dimensional approach - symptomatic classification (dimension #1), charming algorithms (dimension #2) and right amount of images with substantial discussion and detail references (dimension #3). To us, it is a 'just right' book for teaching our residents and nephrology fellows, and serving as a key reference book for our daily practice in renal pathology.' Ping L. Zhang and Hassan D. Kanaan, American Journal of Surgical Pathology
