Description

The New Edition of this popular resource provides clinicians with a fully referenced, integrated approach to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of patients with fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disorders. Comprehensively revised, updated, andedited, the 3rd Edition presents information in three sections for ease of reference. Section 1 delivers detailed guidance for managing patients with specific electrolyte disorders in a fast-access outline format. Section 2 covers specific clinical conditions in which altered laboratory findings suggest fluid and electrolyte abnormalities. Section 3, new to this edition, discusses fluid and electrolyte abnormalities in special populations.

  • Offers even more useful guidance than ever with 3 new chapters on Fluid and Electrolyte Abnormalities in Children, Fluid and Electrolyte Disorders in the Elderly, and Fluid and Electrolyte Disturbances in Starvation.
    • Presents recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of many conditions that evoke derangements of salt, water, and acid-base homeostasis.
  • Offers a comprehensive appendix on the nephron segment characteristics that regulate salt, water, and acid-base transport.
    • Includes the expertise of 16 new contributing authors.
