OverviewThe 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. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Christopher J.
