Summary:

Renal Physiology: A Clinical Approach helps students in medical and related areas of study master one of the more challenging topics in the curriculum. Renal physiology, while essential to passing the boards, receives minimal coverage in most general physiology textbooks. This text provides the information students need in an easy-to-read, compact volume with features designed specifically to reinforce clinical relevance and to challenge real-world problem-solving.

Ideal as a resource for clinical rotations, too!

Each book in this series draws heavily upon clinical examples to emphasize concepts and highlight how a foundation in normal physiological principles facilitates understanding of pathological states. While beginning students learn the relevance of the material, advanced students or residents will learn to recognize signs and symptoms and the corresponding rationales for the therapeutic interventions.

USMLE-style O&A with detailed rationales close every chapter

"Putting It Together" features present clinical scenarios and integrate physical findings, lab values, diagnostic issues, and more

"Thought Questions" challenge students to use their new knowledge in novel ways

"Editor's Integration" links concepts from one organ system to another

Chapter outlines, learning objectives, and bolded key terms make it easy to scan for key concepts

Special Integration chapter pulls it all together in "The Case of the Marathon Runner"
