A must have

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

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.

Beutiful subject, beautifully written.

This is perhaps the most well written text I've ever used. The book has a very conversational flow, yet is very thorough (and I'm a "details" kind of person). Objectives and end-of-chapter review questions keep you focused. Ample figures (including many flowcharts) simplify concepts and interconnect various areas of renal physiology to help you see the kidney as a multifunctional unit. Even if you have a thorough physiology textbook like Guyton, get this book because the kidney is extremely important and affects and is affected by all the goings-on in the body, and the subject really does deserve to be in a standalone book.

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.

Excellent renal physio book

Baby-steps you through the complex physiology, starting from the VERY BASICS for each topic at hand, just to keep the people who snoozed thru Gen Chem up to snuff (i.e. "What is a buffer and how do buffers work?" for the acid/base chapter), then moves on to more difficult stuff, until you're surprised that you can actually understand the really advanced physiology.
Doesn't only explain what happens, but also WHY the water or particular solute "decides" to be filtered/excreted/reabsorbed/secreted at each part of the tubular lumen/ECF/peritubular capillary. Really methodical and well-organized. Highly recommended!

reviews: page 1, 2

This concise overview of renal physiology introduces basic science principles and their relevance in the clinical expression of disease. Each chapter incorporates a wealth of pedagogical aids including: study questions, learning objectives, and clinical examples. Also serves as a good review for the USMLE Step 1.
