More about the book
Extensively revised, thoroughly updated, and expanded to three volumes, with more than 30 new chapters added, the Second Edition of this classic work not only comprises a comprehensive review of renal physiology and pathophysiology but also incorporates the new domain of renal molecular biology. This encyclopedic reference brings together the work of a multidisciplinary group of leading investigators to provide a current, authoritative resource for clinical nephrologists and trainees, graduate students, and researchers in physiology and nephrology. Coverage methodically progresses from molecular biology and cell physiology to clinical issues regarding renal function and dysfunction. Highlights of the Second Edition include an entirely new section on the molecular biology of solute and solvent transport. Many chapters from the First Edition were rewritten for this new edition, and some large chapters were broken into several units to provide more detailed and accessible coverage. The Second Edition also features updated bibliographic references and more than 1,500 illustrations, including many summary diagrams of important cellular processes, as well as diagnostic imaging scans and electron photomicrographs.
