Description

This popular reference offers well-balanced coverage of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base disorders. Thorough without going into extraneous detail, it synthesizes key theoretical and clinical information in a way that is easy to understand and apply. The 3rd Edition presents the most recent discoveries about molecular biology...acute and chronic hyponatremia...endogenous acid production...and much more.

  • Presents the very latest advances in knowledge about molecular biology; acute and chronic hyponatremia; endogenous acid production; Bartters and Gittelmans syndromes; the concentrating mechanism of the renal medulla; the production and purpose of GI organic acid, cerebral salt wasting, and much more.
  • Begins each section with a concise overview of basic physiology, followed by discussions of the associated disorders pathophysiology and management.
  • Incorporates relevant information on energy metabolism and endocrine, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and cardiovascular physiology.
  • Features a consistent, user-friendly formatwith diagnostic algorithms and explicit treatment guidelinesto make reference easy.
  • Includes numerous case studies (more than ever in this New Edition) that illustrate how key management principles are applied in practice.
