Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology: Text with CD-ROM | |
Dr John Feehally has been a consultant Nephrologist at Leicester General Hospital since 1988, and was awarded Honorary Reader in Medicine status at the University of Leicester in 1996. Though he is tremendously well respected for his research into IgA Nephrology (the commonest form of glomerulonephritis), he has written extensively in other areas including those of dialysis and transplantation. He has reviewed articles for all the leading journals and been active on the Editorial Boards of Experimental Nephrology, Oxfron Monographs in Clinical Nephrology, and the British Journal of Renal Medicine. He is well recognised on the conference lecture circuit in Europe and the USA, spending his sabbatical period at Boston University Medical Center.
Both are widely regarded as "leading lights" in current nephrology and universally admired by colleagues, for example:
Rick is a "great speaker, objective driven and a very good educator...as well as being a great collaborator, team player and prolific paper writer" Dr Hughes
"John has an incredibly inventive mind, thinks visually, and I can't think of anyone in the UK who would be better placed to take on the role...the combination of John and Rick Johnson would be outstanding" Prof Mallick --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

How many pages are needed to cover the relevant topics in Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology? Johnson and Feehally convincingly show that in about 700 pages a book can comprehensively deal with all important aspects of clinical nephrology. The authors have succeeded in creating a book that differs from other excellent textbooks, monographs, and handbooks in nephrology, especially in its format and design. Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology is richly illustrated and impressive throughout because of its concise text, informative flow diagrams and tables, and carefully selected and artfully drawn figures. A major strength of the book is the way it presents the complexity of the subject in an easily understandable way without being simplistic.
The book consists of 17 sections and 96 chapters. It covers the entire field of nephrology, from renal anatomy and physiology to investigative procedures, fluid and electrolyte disorders, hypertension, dialysis, and transplantation. Complex topics are divided into several parts and illustrated by several figures. This approach greatly enhances the usefulness of the book. A detailed system of cross-references places all information in its broad context. Despite the large number of contributors to the book, the information is presented concisely, with a consistent format and little overlap in content.
Another strength of the book is the emphasis on pathophysiology. Complex pathophysiologic interactions are described concisely but adequately, thus enabling the reader to understand clinical manifestations and treatment options. General and special recommendations for therapy are given. The discussion of the various treatment options includes careful consideration of the results of recent clinical trials. Instructive tables provide an excellent overview of current studies and guidelines. This format enables nephrologists to gather information that is detailed enough to use in making or rapidly confirming their own decisions in everyday practice.
Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology moves from the laboratory bench to the bedside in a way that is optimal for a comprehensive textbook. I think this book is outstanding. It could well become a standard textbook for practicing nephrologists, trainees, and internal-medicine specialists.

Review
I was pleased to be given the opportunity to review the third edition of Comprehensive Clinical Nephrology, the goal of which is to provide 'comprehensive coverage' of contemporary nephrology.
All chapters have been extensively revised and updated. Furthermore, a new chapter on Intensive Care Unit Nephrology has been added.
Whilst primarily aimed at clinicians, the superb readability of the text, combined with excellent illustrations, broadens its appeal to the wider renal care community. The CD-ROM, containing images from the textbook, may be used for educational purposes.
In conclusion, this is an excellent clinical and educational resource That I can thoroughly recommend to all members of the multidisciplinary team involved in the day-to-day care and management of renal patients.
