A Patient's Guide to Dialysis and Transplantation

چکیده

THIS is the fourth edition of a book which has been widely read as an explanatory book for the intelligent layman who happens also to have diabetes. It is also useful as a source of reference for parents of diabetic children, and is on sale in many general bookshops as well as in those with a medical interest. The book deserves its wide audience and is written with tact and consideration appropriate to the intended readers. It fully deserves to go to a fourth edition. The format is perhaps now becoming a little old-fashioned and perhaps the layout could be improved but these are small points and probably are associated with the relatively low price which is charged for this book.
