Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
This is a great tool for beginners and as a fellow found it useful too.
Helpful to reiterate key physiologic principles presented in simple easy to digest format.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good book for the price
I purchased this book having already read most of it. That being said, I knew what the book was like. It is very informative in an easy-to-understand way. The pictures help illustrate the points and add some humor to an otherwise boring (for me ) topic. My only complaint is that some mistake was made during the printing and/or editorial process. There were typo's and font problems throughout Chapters 10 and 11. Example: pg 284 at the bottom. Other than that, a good purchase.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - very good
Very well written book. I recommend this book to everyone interested in understanding the basic concepts of fluid homeostasis, electrolytes, and acid-base matters. A lot of images, large font - so don't be scared by the many pages.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Companion
This is an excellent resource for those having difficulty mastering Acid-Base, Fluid and Electrolyte Disorders. This is the most comprehensive, and easy to understand book on this subject matter. Ideal not only for medical students, but for residents as well.
Recommend 2nd Edition, to include Divalent Cations; Ca, Mg, and P. Try to tackle Bartter's, Gitelman's a little more. May also touch on Liddle's Syndrome.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Companion
This book copies the enormously popular style of Dubin's EKG book by placing a large picture at the top of every page and then some text and fill-in sentences (as a review) below it. I like this style and find that I can read and absorb much more information from it. Buy and master this book as a first year student taking renal physiology, as a second year student learning about electrolyte and acid base disorders, or as a house officer dealing with patients on every service in the hospital.
