Renal Physiology and Hydrosaline Metabolism (Kindle Edition) by Pedro A. Gallardo and Carlos P. Vio provides an in-depth understanding of kidney function and the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance in the human body. This book covers essential concepts of renal physiology, offering a clear explanation of mechanisms involved in filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and the maintenance of acid-base equilibrium. It also explores the physiological basis of disorders related to renal function and hydrosaline balance.
Key Features:
Comprehensive coverage of renal physiology and fluid-electrolyte homeostasis.
Detailed discussion of renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and tubular functions.
Insight into hormonal control of kidney function, including RAAS, ADH, and ANP.
Clinical correlations linking physiology to common kidney-related disorders.
Ideal for medical, physiology, and biomedical science students seeking a solid foundation in renal function.
