Electrolytes Finally Digested!

If you are a medstudent looking for a book that will make electrolytes and acid balance approachable, this is the one for you! Having gone through Vander's Kidney Physiology and Rose's Clinical Physiology and still not getting a solid picture of the kidney function, I have come across the 1980 edition of this title. It provides the clearest and simplest explanations for complexities of nephrology (including clinical and therapeutic approaches to renally induced imbalances). Although this title might not provide you with all the answers, it will allow you to build a solid foundation for further studies in nephrology. (+++)- a whole lot of pictures, and only enough text to explain the concepts (doesn't leave much space for confusion) (-)- once you understand the basics, you'll have to move on to a different level of texts (Rose's would be a good one to provide you with more answers in this case)
