Aus den Rezensionen zur 6. Auflage:
“... Der Text ist aktuell und sehr klar und präzise formuliert, sodass er sowohl vom jungen Arzt in der kindernephrologischen Sprechstunde als auch vom erfahrenen Kindernephrologen geschätzt wird. Embryologische, pathophysiologische und anatomische Erklärungen werden durch konkrete und praxisnahe Ernpfehlungen zu Diagnostik und Therapie ergänzt. ... Insgesamt haben wir einen eindeutig positiven Eindruck: die sechste Auflage des ‘Avner’s Pediatric Nephrology’ ist ein empfehlenswertes Nachschlagewerk für Kindernephrologen und kindernephrologisch- interessierte Fachärzte.“ (Giacomo Simonetti, in: Pädiatrie up2date, December/2010, Issue 4)
