Vander's Renal Physiology, 7th Edition (LANGE Physiology Series) Reviews
| 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Thorough Simplicity, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Vander's Renal Physiology, 7th Edition (LANGE Physiology Series) (Paperback) I wish all textbooks could be like this one. Very readable; very well organized, and it is no longer than it needs to be. Beginning with functional anatomy, it moves onto cover big-picture functions of the kidney, and then with that context moves in for a more indepth look at each portion, separating function into the fates and control of various ions and other molecules. Why and how the kidney does what it does, where it does it, when it does it makes sense. Then all of a sudden, I found myself predicting rather than memorizing how various diuretics work and how the kidneys play a part in correcting (or causing) various acid-base disturbances.Vander's Renal is definitely in my top 3 all-time favorite textbooks. When I compare the thorough simplicity of how Vander's Renal Physiology covers the kidney compared to the general physiology texts, there is absolutely no comparison. I purchased both the paperback and Kindle versions: As the paperback has only two...

Anyway, this little book consolidates everything you we need to know about renal physiology for the first two years of med school and Step 1. Highly recommended. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Good, simple overview, This review is from: Vander's Renal Physiology, 7th Edition (LANGE Physiology Series) (Paperback) If you are ordering this as a medical student, know that it is not nearly as thorough as you probably need. This is a tiny little book that gives a good overview of renal phys in a very easy, step by step manner. If you have a physiology review text, or another physiology book, stick with that. I liked the book, but for the money, and given the time constraints we are all under, suggest skipping it. |
