Summary
The yearbook's principal aim is to provide clinical nephrologists with reviews that are right up to date. The authors, carefully selected by the International Editorial Board, are all experts in their field; each gives an objective review of a topic of primary current interest. By following the subjects covered by the Yearbook in the broad field of nephrology, the practicing nephrologist and the nephrologist in training can stay abreast of a number of rapidly advancing fields. Topics covered include: renal physiology, the kidney in pregnancy, hereditary kidney diseases, vascular diseases of the kidney, paediatric nephrology , and geriatric nephrology, and acute and chronic renal failure.
