About this title

Review

`... outstanding overview of the state of the art for peritoneal dialysis. In summary, this is the best book published so far on peritoneal dialysis. It is unusually complete and contains extensive information on both physiology and clinical experience. The chapter on peritoneal dialysis in children is the best to date. This book is a must for any pediatric nephrologist's library.'
