    AbstractEvidence-based medicine (EBM) combines clinical experience with the best available patient-centred medical knowledge. EBM is not restricted to randomised trials and meta-analyses. It involves finding the best studies (the best "external evidence") to answer the clinical questions we face in everyday clinical practice. This is a challenging framework where medical decisions absolutely cannot be based on a superficial or automatic approach to patient care. Interest in this approach is growing fast. The EB Nephrology Section of the Journal of Nephrology aims to help readers to update and extend their knowledge of the foundations, the tools and the products of EBM, with specific applications in the field of clinical nephrology.
