Overview

The field of renal disease has witnessed a huge increase in new knowledge in the 1990s. Advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of this complex group of disorders have been escalating rapidly. This is a third edition of this book, which is intended to provide the physician with a clear, comprehensive text on the management of the diverse array of disorders of fluids and electrolytes, of acid-base and mineral metabolism, and of renal structure and function. In order to reflect the many recent changes, original chapters have been revised or completely rewritten, and several new chapters have been added. Analytical aspects of diagnosis blended with practical therapeutic applications are provided.
