The strengths of this popular text - its conciseness and logical progression through renal physiology and pathophysiology - are retained in the 4th edition. The text has been updated throughout, and the content has been expanded to make the book eminently suitable for `systems-based' courses.
The book is designed for the needs of medical undergraduates but many doctors are likely to find it useful too.
Christopher J. Lote
about a previous edition:
`This is a well written, compact physiology text on the functions of the kidney ... The author has carefully selected the relevant topics and and provided the student with an up-to-date and well-balanced analysis of basic functions of the nephron, as well as a concise survey of the major regulatory mechanisms of salt and water homeostasis ... The book is lucidly written and well-illustrated and should serve as a valuable introductory text for physiology students.'
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology
`The students of physiology at the University of Birmingham Medical School ... are very lucky if their class teaching is as good as this paperback.'
British Book News
`Presents clearly and concisely the principles of renal physiology at a level eminently suitable to the needs of the preclinical medical student ... confidently recommended.'
New Zeland Medical Journal
