From the reviews:"This book is a collection of reviews on derangements of oxygen metabolism in kidney diseases. ... addressed to students (mostly postgraduate), researchers, and academic clinicians ... . I liked the organization of each chapter with an abstract, key words, introduction, and conclusion as well as extensive, up-to-date, relevant references. ... This is the only book that I am aware of that is an extensive, updated review of abnormal oxygen metabolism in a large number of pathologic renal diseases."
