DESCRIPTION

How should changes in plasma creatinine be interpreted? What is a fractional excretion, and how does

measuring it help in clinical practice? Is it helpful to diagnose a triple acid-base disturbance, or is it just

a mental exercise?

Focusing on the areas that are particularly challenging for trainees, Dr. David Leehey presents 20 of the most

perplexing and clinically relevant nephrology questions faced by medical students, residents, and nephrology

fellows and attendings. His three decades of teaching experience provide real-world perspective on topics such

as complex acid base disturbances, sodium concentration disorders, and the utility of urine anion and osmolal

gaps. This concise title is an excellent teaching and learning tool for anyone who needs expert insight on this

often-difficult subspecialty of medicine.
