Heinz Valtin Bücher

A thorough, easy-to-read coverage of basic renal physiology for medical students. The book moves from the general to the specific: chapter 1 is an overview of renal physiology, chapters 2 through 6 cover the general principles of renal structure and function, and chapters 7 through 11 provide more detailed information about how the kidney performs its specific functions. Each chapter is followed by several clinically oriented problems for students to solve (answers are provided at the back of the book).
