Seldin and Giebisch’s The Kidney: Physiology and Pathophysiology, Sixth Edition provides a common language for nephrology researchers, fellows, and practicing nephrologists to discuss normal and abnormal renal physiology and the development and diagnosis of a wide range of renal diseases. Guided by a team of four distinguished authorities in nephrology, experts from all areas of renal research and practice take readers from the structure and function of the normal kidney, to the specific cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying disease development, and into the management of renal disease through physiologic regulation. This classic nephrology reference for nearly 30 years combines basic and clinical sciences that provides authoritative, concise, and readily accessible information. Academic, medical, and pharma researchers save valuable time by quickly accessing the very latest details on renal physiology and pathophysiology as opposed to searching through thousands of journal articles.

Presents the most comprehensive, translational source for all aspects of normal renal physiology and pathophysiology of kidney diseases in one reference work

Offers clear translational presentations by the top basic and clinical researchers in each specific renal disease, including fluid and electrolyte disorder, genetic disorders, glomerular diseases, diabetic nephropathy, preeclampsia, dialysis and transplantation
