National Kidney Foundation Primer on Kidney Diseases (Expert Consult- Online and Print) 6th Edition

I am enjoying reading this book. It is very well organized, visually appealing and easy to read and understand. It contains all of the information necessary to form a solid foundation in nephrology, without going into details that might be tedious to someone without a background in the field. I especially appreciate the images and tables in this book - all are high quality and contribute to the text.The book comes with an activation code that allows the user to download the book in a mobile application called Inkling. The application works with iOS or Android. I use the app on my iPad and it is well done. The text is easy to navigate between chapters or within a particular chapter, search and highlight. All of the same content as in the printed book is included in the application, including images and tables.I wish all of my medical textbooks were as appealing as this one.

I have finished my Nephrology fellowship in 2013, during that time I was using the fifth edition of Primer as one of my sources for studying and it was a good one. The sixth edition has been revamped and I am especially happy with the fact that it is more in depth about pathophysilogy of disease (as opposed to sometimes just presenting facts in the 5th iteration).It also happens to be released after the JNC 8, the new Lupus studies, MGN studies so has updates that are crucial for anyone using it as a reference.It comes with an online access that allowed my to download the whole book in an interactive format on my phone (so you can search, bookmark, jump to chapters). The online edition though could be tricky when viewing on a phone as the graphs are more optimized for a tablet.

Since other editions, this book is an excellent companion when you are studying for the board of the Brazilian Society of Nephrology. It worked for me a decade ago, worked for other fellows since then.

excellent condition ,great resource in nephrology and also internal medicine acid base balance and renal function !the graph charts and pics are wonderful.

A synopsis of kidney diseases in a well-written form. I have been referencing prior editions for more than a decade.

I haven't finished it yet but it seems to be well written and organized.It is thorough and covers a multitude of topics.

Excellent book. The information is short and clear, but not too short. I found all information I needed. Good and very well understandable tables.

Very interesting book, you can see the whole function, and anatomy before to start the pathology!!! very good, must use for internal medicine
