Seldin and Giebisch's the kidney: physiology and pathophysiology

biology and cell physiology to clinical issues regarding renal function and dysfunction. If you research the development of normal renal function or the mechanisms underlying renal disease, Seldin and Giebischs The Kidney is your number one source for information. Offers the most comprehensive coverage of fluid and electrolyte regulation and dysregulation in 51 completely revised chapters unlike Brenner and Rector's The Kidney which devotes only 7 chapters to this topic. Includes 3 sections, 31 chapters, devoted to regulation and disordersof acid-base homeostasis, and epithelial and nonepithelial transport regulation. Brenner and Rector's only devotes 5 chapters to these topics. Previous three editions edited by Donald Seldin and Gerhard Giebisch, world renowned namesin nephrology. The title for the fourth edition has been changed to reflect their considerable work on previous editions and they have also written the forward for this edition. Over 20 million adults over age 20 have chronic kidney disease with the number of people diagnosed doubling each decade making it America's ninth leading cause of death.
