<p>This updated edition provides a clear and concise understanding of the fundamentals of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorders that are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Each chapter follows a standard format that begins with pertinent basic physiology followed by its clinical disorder. Cases for each fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorder are discussed, along with board-type questions with explanations to increase clinicians' knowledge. Revised with new developments in the field, this edition's expanded chapters cover useful information left out of other textbooks.</p><p>This practical, current, and clinically oriented book is a must-have reference for practicing physicians, students, residents and fellows.</p>
