Renal physiology and hydrosaline metabolism

Renal physiology and hydrosaline metabolism / Pedro A. Gallardo, Carlos P. Vio.

This volume discusses renal function and the mechanisms by which the kidney regulates the composition and volume of the extracellular fluid. It also highlights the role of the kidney in the development and progression of arterial hypertension. Most textbooks of renal physiology are based in mammalia...
