disappointed
The fifth edition was one of the best books I had ever seen and so, I was eagerly waiting for this edition.It still has the same high standards, but I am disappointed at the number of typos and bad grammar throughout the book that makes it unreadable.The editors should have taken more care.

The Definitive Work
In the 5th edition of what has become the standard text in the field, the editors have achieved their goal of producing a definitive, comprehensive textbook.The book blends new data emerging from the explosion of genomics with an authoritative, complete and well-balanced coverage of all aspects of clinical pediatric nephrology. This book should be on the shelf of all nephrologists, pediatricians, internists, urologists, and allied health care professionals who care for children with kidney disease around the world.
