The latest addition to the BMJ Books EBM textbook series, this is an important new text for nephrologists that reviews the evidence from clinical trials toinform daily practice. Recommendations are based on approved evidence-based medicine methodology, evaluating each of the types of available evidence using transparent and reproducible validated criteria. Written and edited by leadingexperts in nephrology and evidence-based medicine, many from the Cochrane Collaboration, this book provides clearly presented, accessible clinical information on all the major renal conditions, backed by authoritative data.
