SUMMARY

Superbly written text gives students, residents, and practitioners a unique advantage in understanding the mechanisms and clinical management of acid-base disorders. Presents the core information to understand renal and electrolyte physiology and also reviews the etiology, diagnosis, pathohysiology and treatment rationale for all major acid-base and electrolyte disturbances. New questions and answers are added to each chapter with significant updating to the entire text. -- from publisher's web site
