Each chapter covers a disease and begins with a patient case, followed by discussion of the pathophysiology of the disease. Issues of differential diagnosis and therapy are linked to pathophysiologic mechanisms.

 Great Book-Buy it so you can UNDERSTAND renal pathophysiology May 18, 2009
Farhad A. Asskaryar (Chennai, India)
This book is an excellent tool to "understand" the complexity of renal physiology and its relation to renal disease.
 Not that impressed...but don't know of an alternative. October 30, 2008

To be honest, I wasn't that impressed. This was our assigned textbook, and I tend to use the texts as references for when I don't understand something in class or in a problem set. I felt that this book often left out the explanation of "why" something happened, and tended to be less in depth than even our lectures and so I'd be frustrated that the book didn't really explain the underlying mechanisms to a process (which I think is key to understanding renal pathophys)...and don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people trying to memorize every tiny detail. But I felt this was a little too superficial to be of much use. I ended up probably getting more out of Robbins and Costanzo's BRS Physio review (which does include some pathophys) than out of this text.
Great book for renal module February 4, 2008

This book is all you will need for renal pathophys your 1st and 2nd years. It is small and doesn't look like much, but is extremely well written. THis is all I used for my 2nd year renal module (with a little robbins on the side), and I nailed the exam. I recommend for any med student.
Excellent book December 13, 2007

Though the text can be a bit dense and overly wordy sometimes (Glomerulonephritides chapter), it does an excellent job at explaining pathophysiology. Pictures are in B&W though, so if you're just looking for nice slides, pick up Robbins. If you're looking to gain understanding, pick up this book.

Helps for reviewing material that is kind of obscure. I preferred reading Robbins Basis of Pathology to get a good glance at the material.
