This book consists of 29 chapters, which include evaluation of renal functions, diagnostic evaluation of renal disease, imaging in renal diseases, antenatally detected anomalies of the urinary tract, electrolyte disorders, hereditary nephritis, steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, hemolytic uremic syndrome, vesicoureteral reflux, hypertension in children, renal replacement therapy, obstructive uropathy, pediatric urolithiasis, bladder dysfunction, medical renal diseases of the newborn, and drug therapy in renal dysfunction. The book has been designed with a practical approach to the renal problems faced by treating pediatricians and postgraduate students. The text has been kept in a simple, readable fashion supplemented by pictures where ever required. This book will serve the needs of the members of IAP.
