Guided by the biggest names in renal pathology, the new Sixth Edition of this gold-standard text thoroughly examines the origins and manifestations of kidney disease. Experts offer careful pathologic descriptions, appropriate clinical correlations, and extensive discussions on causes and pathogenesis to clarify your understanding and facilitate easy, accurate diagnosis.

This edition is in full color throughout and extensively reorganized. You'll appreciate the hundreds of razor-sharp illustrations, the increased number of international contributors, and the addition of important new topics. Two volumes make specific information even easier to pinpoint and retrieve.
