Vanders Renal Physiology (Lange Physiology Series)

For an anatomy and physiology class. Vanders is straight forward. Review ques are great as well as ref charts.

I used this for the anaesthesia primary exam and found it to be excellent. I disagree with many of the other reviews that it is too long or wordy - I seriously question how many physiology texts they have used as this is far better than most. This was almost my sole reference for renal physiology and it was easy to read cover-to-cover. There are plenty of simple diagrams and a handful of table and schematics for key concepts. It's very easy to find and quickly read specific topics when it comes to revision, which is a big strength for exams. If you want to learn basic renal physiology almost entirely from diagrams then this is not your book - you should probably just be using the internet. If you want concise and accurate explanations of all the important aspects of renal physiology in a short and easy-to-read book, then buy this.

A great resource for learning renal physiology. It helped me get through that section of physiology in PA school. Breaks things down in easy to understand sections with some basic review questions at the end.

I appreciate the level of detail in a small package. Of course, I have to remember that this does not include pathology - just healthy operation. Still - well organized and easy to carry around instead of a larger book including more systems.

Great read. Short yet comprehensive.

Great Book. Very comprehensive and thorough in covering aspects of renal physiology.

USEFUL at work

I was looking for something more user friendly that I could use as an introduction, but it's much better as a review. Lots of reading which slowed me down. I only read a few chapters. I might pick it up again latter but it's a little time consuming. I think there are a lot better resources out there like YouTube channels, khan academy, first aid eat that together get the job done. I don't really think this book has much of a place on a modern medical students shelf unless you like the slow antiquated format.
