Reviews
"...a great addition to the current literature...It can help clinicians better understand the potential utility and implementation of existing and future biomarkers, and researchers carefully plan experimental and/or clinical studies involving these biomarkers. I highly recommend this book to both clinicians who want to learn more about biomarkers of kidney disease and researchers who would like to move the field forward. Score: 95 - 5 Stars" --Doody's
