An important part of all aspects of internal medicine and nephrology
are the areas of electrolyte homeostasis, and acid-base
and mineral metabolism. Disturbances of fluid and electrolyte
balance, and disorders of acid-base and mineral metabolism homeostasis
are often confusing to most trainees and non-nephrology
physicians. It is imperative that clinicians early in their training
as medical students, physician assistants, house officers, and
subspecialty fellows gain a solid understanding of basic aspects
of these disorders. This manual was conceived to provide a
readily available pocket guide to remove that confusion. Lange
Instant Access: Acid-Base, Fluids, and Electrolytes provides a
comprehensive and concise text for physicians in training and
practitioners.
