This monograph introduces the student to the basic science principles and clinical applications of renal physiology. Beginning with structure and function of the kidneys and a step-by-step review of renal processes, the text emphasizes the core body of information needed to fully understand renal haemodynamics, sodium and water excretion, renal regulation of potassium, hydrogen ion and calcium/phosphate balance. Detailed footnotes and suggested readings are supplied for expanded study.
