SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This is a book about renal cysts and cystic kidneys. Experimental analogs of human disease offer increasing opportunities to basic researchers to examine, in sequence and under controlled circumstances, those events that favor nephron dilation, cyst growth and ultimate renal failure.
