Overview

The strengths of this popular text -- its conciseness and logical progression through renal physiology and pathophysiology -- are retained in the 4th edition. The text has been updated throughout, and the content has been expanded to make the book eminently suitable for `systems-based' courses. The book is designed for the needs of medical undergraduates but many doctors are likely to find it useful too.

Reviews

about a previous edition: 'This is a well written, compact physiology text on the functions of the kidney ... The author has carefully selected the relevant topics and and provided the student with an up-to-date and well-balanced analysis of basic functions of the nephron, as well as a concise survey of the major regulatory mechanisms of salt and water homeostasis ... The book is lucidly written and well-illustrated and should serve as a valuable introductory text for physiology students.' Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology 'The students of physiology at the University of Birmingham Medical School ... are very lucky if their class teaching is as good as this paperback.' British Book News 'Presents clearly and concisely the principles of renal physiology at a level eminently suitable to the needs of the preclinical medical student ... confidently recommended.' New Zeland Medical Journal
