Description

A new edition of the comprehensive discussion of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base abnormalities emphasizing the management of common conditions encountered by generalists, and diagnosis substantially enhanced by recent advances in molecular biology, genetics, and neuroimaging techniques. Fifty-one specialists consider different viewpoints in the biochemistry, physiology, and clinical correlates of the regulation of intracellular and extracellular volume, tonicity, and pH. Besides this overview, half the volume devotes itself to specific pathologic states and special considerations associated with acute and chronic renal failure, gastrointestinal diseases, pituitary and adrenal disease and diabetes, particularly diabetic comas. Diuretic uses and abuses are explored as treatment. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
