Myths and Shibboleths in Nephrology [PDF ebook] 

Increasingly, medicine in general and nephrology specifically is based on clinical trials and verifiable presumption. Still, however, much of everyday clinical practice is the consensus of pundits and experts unable to validate their suggestions beyond personal bias. In this unique volume, several core beliefs in renal medicine are examined and challenged. Starting as assignments for nephrology fellows, this book grew out of surprising `revelations’ indicating that `the emperor has no clothes’. The book is suitable as a stimulus for provocative discussions for nephrologists, internists, house staff, and medical students.
