Customer Reviews

A must have
Read book cover to cover in preparation for your renal exam during nurse anesthesia school. Usually required too.

Simply the best
This is simply the best in its class--a foundation of my medical education. The diagrams are excellent. Text explanations are clear, detailed, precise and, most importantly, succinct. When I die, bury me with Vander's Renal Physiology.

Renal Physiology Made Easy
Real Physiology provides the basics needed for a medical school renal unit. By purchasing this book, a medical student is able to focus on the renal system in more detail than in some basic physiology texts.
