Abstract

Volume 1 A history of renal physiology in 1950, Carl W. Gottschalk: general principles of electrolyte regulation - organization and control of body fluid compartments, molecular biology of transport organization of the kidney - structural organization, functional organization. Volume 2 Organization of the kidney - renal regulation of extrarenal function water and electrolyte exchanges - renal regulation of water balance - normal, renal regulation of water balance - deranged, renal regulation of sodium and chloride - normal, renal regulation of sodium and chloride - deranged, renal regulation of potassium - normal, renal regulation of potassium - deranged, renal regulation of magnesium - normal, renal regulation of magnesium - deranged, renal regulation of calcium - normal, renal regulation of calcium - deranged, renal regulation of phosphate - normal, renal regulation of phosphate - deranged, renal regulation of acid-base balance - normal, renal regulation of acid-base balance - deranged. Volume 3: Water and electrolyte exchanges - renal regulation of organic solutes and trace metals - normal, renal regulation of organic solutes and trace metals - deranged, renal regulation of proteins and macromolecules - normal, renal regulation of proteins and macromolecules - normal, renal regulation of proteins and macromolecules - deranged, extrinsic and intrinsic renal failure - failure of renal function, renal pharmacology.
