Back cover copy
“The core of information that the clinician should possess” -- From the Preface
Like its highly acclaimed predecessors, the Fifth Edition of this classic effectively integrates the essentials of renal and electrolyte physiology with the common clinical disorders of acid-base and electrolyte balance.
FEATURES:
*An easy-to-read writing style that demystifies this difficult subject
*Basic science coverage of water and electrolyte physiology, renal physiology, and regulation of water and electrolyte balance
*Clinical chapters that quickly guide you through key points of etiology, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of common disorders
*Crystal clear figures and handy tables that summarize key information
*End-of-chapter problems that test mastery of the material
NEW IN THIS EDITION:
*New sections on endothelin and nitric oxide
*State-of-the-art information on the properties of the calcium-sensing receptor
*Revised and expanded coverage of the neurologic sequelae of hyponatremia
*In-depth discussion of the edematous states, including heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, and cirrhosis
*Hundreds of new references
This book describes renal physiology and the regulation of water and electrolyte balance and then reviews various disorders of the above. The author takes a difficult subject and puts it into simple terms and gives excellent examples of the clinical implication of various renal physiologic mechanisms. There are several problems and solutions for each disorder, and these are also helpful in solidifying knowledge. The detail and physiology probably make this book most suitable for clinical and research fellows in nephrology but medical students and residents would find it useful as well. The price makes the book a real value given the amount of excellent information the book contains.

This is the best clinical physiology text one can buy. Rose has such a beautifully elegant writing style that you will not want to put this book down. I kid you not, this is the only book you will need to understand fluids, electrolytes and acid/base physiology. This text book is filled with repetition all in the hopes of having the reader understand. Fluid and acid/base can be incredibly complicated but this book clearly shows how everthing actually makes sense. Fluid and electrolytes in my opinion are the hub for medicine - this book will get you rolling. Man, they need a gold-bound edition for this bad boy. All kidding aside if you are a fan of Guyton...you'll be a fan of Rose.
