Blood Disorders due to Drugs and Other Agents

many recent advances in renal pathology. The plan of the book is virtually the same as its predecessor, with chapters on the general aspects and limitations of renal biopsy, the normal kidney, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, diabetic lesions, pyelonephritis, hypertension, and miscellaneous conditions. The need for thin, good quality sections is emphasized and the inclusion of a short appendix describing the technical methods used in Birmingham is, therefore, particularly welcome. The chapter on the nephrotic syndrome has been enlarged to include discussion of some of the results of the recent MRC trial. There are good descriptions of membrano-proliferative and 'minimal change' glomerulonephritis, and reference is made to the newly developed methods of quantitative morphometry which are clearly going to become increasingly important in assessing the presence or absence of minor degrees of glomerular hypercellularity and, in particular, in distinguishing between 'minimal change' lesions and proliferative glomerulonephritis. As in the first edition the text contains many very instructive case histories (all of which have been brought right up to date), and is illustrated by good quality photomicrographs. It is a great pity that a few well chosen electron micrographs have not been included and, also, that immunofluorescent techniques and their results receive only the very briefest of mention. The book is well produced and reasonably priced and can be recommended as a sound guide in a somewhat confused and confusing field of histopathology.
