I have just finished reading this book. I am a second-year resident in pediatrics. This book is just * excellent *, it covers the topic effectively, it is well organized, easy to read, and it follows a logic and a thought. IIt comes with bunch of exercises to apply each unit content, and also different extra chapters for curious readers. I can't wait until read it again to consolidate this integrative knowledge. Dr. Abelow, great job!!

This is an amazing book. I wish I had it when I was a medical student and in my resident years. I am now studying for my board exam. for intensive care and I am absolutely loving it! This is a great book because;
1. It is written in plain English. The author has made a very difficult but important subject very, very understandable. Everything is very well presented and all the important terms, units and formulas are well explained in a non-intimidating manner. It is pleasurable to go through each page and make studying such a painless experience.
2. It is very logical and intuitive. Each concept is very well handled and explained before the reader is allowed to proceed to the next. This is so vital as our knowledge in acid base disturbance is built upon good conceptual understanding of the basic physiology.
3. You feel like talking to a great teacher, who is patient, understanding and guiding you through every step of the way. The author seems to know exactly where you might be having trouble with the grasping of the concept and he knowns exactly where he needs to elaborate in more details. This guy knows what he is talking about and he is a masterful teacher.
Overall, an extremely well written book on a very difficult topic. Essentail reading for medical students, residents and specialist of all areas of medicine, as acid base disturbance is one of the most important foundation of good patient management.

I have read numerous other books on acid base and electrolyte disorders, but this book helped to clarify many questions I have had about interpreting ABGs, and electrolyte abnormalities. This book should be required reading for all medical students and residents!

With this marvelous book, Dr Abelow has proven himself to be the proverbial "Bill Nye, The Science Guy" of Acid Base. Understanding Acid-Base is the perfect book for medical students, residents, and anyone hoping to gain a thorough understanding of Acid-Base quickly and painlessly! The text is clear, beautifully written, and surprisingly interesting. It reads fast, and - like Costanzo's Physiology - seems to anticipate your questions as you read along (the sign of a great teacher). Buy this book, AND KEEP IT! You'll find yourself going back to it again and again.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! The epitome of what an introductory medical text should be. Very clear and concise. This should be required reading for Internal Medicine, Pulmonary/ICU, and Nephrology.
