In one golden age of medicine epitomized by William Osler, the
physician also aspired to mastery of gross and microscopic
pathologic anatomy. Now another such age has dawned in which
ultrastructure and immunopathology provide insights into mysterious
diseases of the kidney, connective tissues, joints, and muscles,
among other sites. Dr. Anil K. MandaI has a background in clinical
nephrology, experimental pathology, and diagnostic pathology of
renal diseases that suits him well for his chosen task. This is to
explain clearly the clinicopathologic entities seen by
nephrologists, using the full range of available morphologic
techniques. His ap- proach is brisk and incisive. To read his
monograph as a pathologist is to make oneself a better clinician,
and as a physician is to improve one's grasp of pa- thology. Such
correlative knowledge seems at present the means most likely to
lead to the ultimate control of some crippling chronic renal
diseases. Sheldon C. Sommers, M.D.
