This text is aimed mainly at those in the legal profession who deal with medical negligence. It sets out in simple language details of the structure and function of the kidneys and urinary tract, the chief methods of investigation of kidney disease, and the common disorders which confront the renal physician. Many illustrative cases are described.
It is hoped that, in particular, barristers and solicitors will find the book an aid to comprehension of the technical and professional issues raised by cases with which they deal.
