Description
Unlike traditional textbooks on the subject, "Acid-Base and Electrolyte Disorders" focuses less on physiological and pathophysiological concepts and more on providing specific recommendations for therapy and patient care - resulting in an excellent clinical resource that is also an ideal core curriculum or exam review. Many of the topics in this book are not covered in any other resource! This book contains: the latest information in fast-moving areas such as molecular biology and genetics; the most authoritative information available from expert authors and contributors; excellent figures and tables which clarify the important concepts throughout; detailed reference lists which direct you to the best sources of further information, including cross-references to Brenner & Rector's "The Kidney".
