Review from the authors
Students typically find renal function one of the most difficult physiological systems to comprehend. There is no question that the kidney is consideraly more conceptual than most organ systems. In addition, the quantitative nature of many of these concepts can be confusing. Based on our collective teaching experiences to date therefore, we have attempted to develop a textbook that will make the kidney less intimidating and therfore more understandable, particulary for medical students. Although the fundamental content is similar to that of several excellent texts that are already available, we have incorporated several unique aspects into this new book.
