Seldin and Giebisch’s The Kidney: Physiology and Pathophysiology

Seldin and Giebisch’s The Kidney: Physiology and Pathophysiology, Sixth Edition is an indispensable resource for nephrology researchers, fellows, and practicing nephrologists. This comprehensive reference offers a common language to discuss both normal and abnormal renal physiology, as well as the development and diagnosis of a wide spectrum of renal diseases.

Guided by a team of four distinguished nephrology authorities, this edition features insights from experts across renal research and practice. Readers journey from understanding the structure and function of the normal kidney to exploring the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying disease development, and onto the management of renal diseases through physiologic regulation.

For nearly 30 years, this classic nephrology reference has seamlessly combined basic and clinical sciences, delivering authoritative, concise, and readily accessible information. Academic, medical, and pharmaceutical researchers will save valuable time by quickly accessing the latest details on renal physiology and pathophysiology, bypassing the need to sift through thousands of journal articles.

• Presents the most comprehensive and translational source for all aspects of normal renal physiology and the pathophysiology of kidney diseases in one definitive reference work.
• Features clear translational presentations by top basic and clinical researchers on specific renal diseases, including fluid and electrolyte disorders, genetic disorders, glomerular diseases, diabetic nephropathy, preeclampsia, dialysis, and transplantation.
