primer on kidney disease
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK ON NEPHROLOGY, IT'S CONCISE AND VERY WELL ILLUSTRATED, PROBABLY THE BEST INTRODUCTORY BOOK ON NEPHROLOGY, BUT PROBABLY NOT AS COMPREHENSIVE AS THOSE 100 LB BOOKS.

Great text for those interested in nephrology
I am a medicine resident interested in nephrology. This book starts out with the basics of renal anatomy/physiology, approach to patients with kidney disease, and goes on to define/classify, and provide an outline for diagnosis/therapy of common kidney disorders. Its depth suits perfectly medicine residents, and probably, as others have mentioned, fellows starting their training. Those looking for a more in-depth text might consider Johnson&Feehaly's Comprehensive Clinical nephrology.

Great Book for IM residents
If you are looking for a comprehensive introduction to kidney disease as a resident - this is the book. It has as much information as you would want as a resident (probably more than you want!). Great reference for renal fellows who are just starting out. ... Read more

Skimpy at Best
I graduate from Berkeley, I'm finishing my premed requirements and I am seriously considering a future in osteopathic medicine.I bought this book believing that it would cover in depth fellowship/residency opportunities, day-in-the-life, practice areas/scope (in depth) etc.The book is big-type-font and in terms of actual pages, it's less than 100 (and the book iself is about the size of a palm pilot!).The information is outdated and skimpy at best, and the majority of the focus tends to center around the idea that "osteopathic physicians are now considered equal (almost) to allopathic physicians" and that all students of osteopathic medicine should go into a DO program solely to practice primary care (for the most part).The way statistical measurements are portrayed/discussed is flawed (thank you professor Rice (Statistics 2 at Berkeley)) and if anything I am more turned off after reading the book.Finally, an extensive portion of the book is spent thanking various people for their help in this 'project.'Personally, I do not think the author is indebted to anyone - the 'project' is poorly written, outdated, misrepresents numerical data, and truely should never have been written.Moreover, it costs about 10 dollars - you get what you pay for.There is much better information on the web(www.studentdoctor.net/do/index.asp), and on the admissions webpages for the various osteopathic schools (and www.aacom.org etc). ...
