Reviews

From the reviews:

“This book reviews the pathophysiology and management of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. … It is clearly targeted for those desiring a deeper understanding of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorders. Nephrologists, nephrology fellows, and any physician with an interest in the area of fluid disorders would benefit from this book. … This is a valuable resource for nephrologists that also could be useful for internists or researchers with a particular interest in nephrology.” (Edwin James Avallone, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2013)
