Good Physiology

Book does a good job in explaining the main physiological points. Structure of book is around different functions (NaCl Transport) rather than speaking to specific renal structures and describing those functions. Does not have a good description of renal structure, but definitely enough to understand the physiology.

Must have for studying renal physiology!

Having seen a low rating for this book- I have to defend its reputation. This book is GREAT! Very easy to understand compared to other very dry textbooks. Great diagrams. The best thing about it is the extensive amount of study prep material included such as end-of-the-chapter questions and 10 case studies (very helpful in connecting concepts). That's not all-it also comes with 2 Review Tests (50 questions each)! That's even more than BRS has to offer (44 questions). I couldn't have made an A on my renal test without this book!
