Abstract:
Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCCTs) provide the ultimate test of therapeutic effectiveness. In addition, results of properly performed RCCTs can provide data concerning the potential harmful effects and costs associated with treatments. This article addresses the need for RCCTs in veterinary nephrology and provides a background for applying the results of such studies to patients.
