Renal pathophysiology can be a difficult subject even for the most
advanced medical students. This Fifth Edition of Renal
Pathophysiology: The Essentials provides an easy-to-read, case-based
approach to learning the mechanisms of renal disease. Each chapter
focuses on a mechanism of kidney disease and includes an opening case,
learning objectives, integrated open-ended questions, and chapter-ending
summaries. This new edition has been updated with the latest clinical
advances and research on renal disease and is supported with many
full-color illustrations and photomicrographs, suggested readings, and
online review questions to reinforce learning.
