Key result
Two-volume book The Renin-Angiotensin System provides a highly recommended, comprehensive review of the RAS.
A highly recommended two-volume comprehensive book on the biochemistry, physiology, pathophysiology, and therapeutics of the Renin-Angiotensin System.
May inform RAS education for clinicians and researchers; leaves open integration with post-publication trial evidence.
The Renin-Angiotensin System is a remarkable achieve- ment.Here within two handsomely produced volumes are scholarly and readable accounts, richly referenced, of the historical development of our understanding of the RAS and the current state of knowledge and uncertainty.Volume 1 deals with biochemistry and physiology and Volume 2 with pathophysiology and therapeutics.Thanks to the editorial arm-twisting detailed in the preface and liberal cross-referencing the 100 chapters are extremely well integrated with very little duplication.Whilst inevitably the book will be of special value for clinicians in hypertension, nephrology and endoc- rinology, there are few in other specialties who will not find chapters of interest.The editors are to be congratulated for having pro- duced an instant classic.No medical library or self- respecting department of nephrology, endocrinology and others should be without their 'Robertson and Nicholls'.
