Customer Reviews:
Kidney & ElderlyJuly 27, 2008 Dr. Hendrik Koller Detailed book covering all aspects of CKD and the elderly, inluing demographics, Pathophysiology, therapeutics and ethical dilemmas. Esp. useful to nephrologists treating this population and geriatricans who want to have and in depth view of the topic. Can 't see that medical students will use it - too specific, nurses either.
