About the book:

•     Clear and concise presentation of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorders
•     Cases for each disorder are discussed and feature board-type questions and answers
•     Highly practical and clinically oriented for the physician, student, resident or fellow

Fluid, Electrolyte and Acid-Base Disorders: Clinical Evaluation & Management  is a clear and concise presentation of the fundamentals of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorders frequently encountered in clinical practice.  

Each chapter begins with pertinent basic physiology followed by its clinical disorder. Cases for each fluid, electrolyte and acid-base disorder are discussed with answers.  In addition, board-type questions with explanations are provided for each clinical disorder to increase the knowledge for the clinician.

Practical and clinically oriented, this book is a handy reference for practicing physicians, students, residents and fellows.
