### 5/5 — Great quick reference

*2018-12-22*

This app has well written and organized concise information for diagnosis and treatment of many nephrology topics. 
One can search a topic via full text search as some smaller topics are subcategories.

### 1/5 — Details in the topics

*2018-12-11*

Many times, the application is disappointing because you will be looking for a very important topic in the application and will find out that there is only 2 lines on that big topic!
Hopefully there will be more details on the topics in the future.
