There is an emphasis on theoretical knowledge but also some good practical clinical information present to aid the student on clinical placement. I found this book very easy to read and intuitive in the way each section follows. I would not change this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI think the current system of ‘pull out’ boxes works well and too many types of boxes may overcomplicate.

Well done.

The book is full of diagrams, tables and flow charts which simplify learning of these difficult specialities. I feel that the basic sciences at the start of the book is more appropriate for the earlier years of medical school where I feel it would be useful for PBL cases, however, the book was also useful during my 4th year clinical attachment on the renal wards, where this book was a great revision tool. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSteve Gilchrist, Medical Student, University of Edinburgh, Jun 2009\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA great series!

The content concentrates on breadth rather than depth is therefore useful for revision……the diagrams are very clear and concise, often explaining the concepts better than the texts. Also the little ‘pointer’ boxes attracted me to useful information. I particular liked the flow charts for diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The different ways of testing knowledge in the self assessment section is very useful.  Overall the book is very useful for revision purposes with clear, easy to understand text and diagrams with a substantial clinical section. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFatima Rashid, University of Keele, July 2008\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNever underestimate the importance of the kidney! At first glance, the renal system may not excite but this concise summary of a fairly complex system would make a useful addition to your collection of medical books. You will undoubtedly find yourself referring to this book time and again. It covers everything from the renin-angitoensin system to dialysis to prostate cancer. The book encompasses the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the renal and urinary systems in an easy to read format. Finally, as with all books in the Crash Course series, there is an extensive self-assessment section with MCQs and SAQs. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMichael Wilson, University of Glasgow, Jul 2008\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCrash Course is a simple concise summary of the basics of renal physiology and pharmacology.
