Moreover, the book does a fine job of explaining acid base disorders, electrolyte disorders, and other renal diseases as they relate to nephrology; as well as their relationship to other subspecialties, such as pulmonology, cardiology and endocrinology for example.

Simply said, the book is a wonderful example of applying creative writing skills to describe a technical subject. The result is an enjoyable, easily readable, thorough explanation of renal function and disease that is written at a perfect level for medical residents, (or anyone else for that matter).

Thanks so much for creating this book!

Excellent Resource  Jul 14, 2010 By Maya
This book is the perfect resource for addressing both the gritty physiology, as well as the practical-clinical approach of fluid and electrolytes. I used it mainly to review, at the most basic level, the science behind much routine clinical management, as well as thinking through differential diagnoses and treatments of a variety of electrolyte abnormalities.

This book is, and has been for many years, the bible of information about the kidney. Clear and well written and annotated.
