Product Description
Following the familiar, easy-to-use at a Glance format, and now in full-colour, The Renal System at a Glance is an accessible introduction and revision text for medical students. Fully revised and updated to reflect changes to the content and assessment methods used by medical schools, this at a Glance provides a user-friendly overview of the renal system to encapsulate all that the student needs to know.

This new edition of The Renal System at a Glance:

  • Now features new self-assessment case studies with short answer questions to increase clinical relevance and reinforce learning
  • Includes a new chapter ‘Chronic kidney disease and kidney disease in the elderly’
  • Now includes the latest guidelines and classifications for chronic kidney disease and hypertension
  • Contains full-colour artwork throughout, making the subject even easier to understand

  • The companion site at www.ataglanceseries.com/renalsystem contains multiple choice questions (MCQs) and full feedback on your answers

It’s an invaluable resource for all medical students, junior doctors, and for those training in allied health professions, including specialist nurses working on renal or intensive care wards.

Review of the previous edition

"Students in their pre-clinical years will find this book an excellent and thorough introduction to the renal system and may well struggle without a book of this calibre... This is a book that should be on the bookshelf of all medical students, there's no excuse not to have a copy! In addition, undergraduates from life science/health allied disciplines and clinicians are likely to find this book useful as a source of reference."
—GKT Gazette, September 2006

4 out of 5 stars Great   November 19, 2009
Craig R-T (Australia)
I have been battling understanding the renal system and renal diseases for a long time now, and this book as finally helped me come to terms with it. It presents the information in a neatly summarised way and in a manner that really helped me let it sink in. Each page has a full page diagram(s) that summarise the points that are explained on the opposite page - often the diagrams are good enough for me to use on their own without reading the details opposite. A great book for cramming for exams and for coming to grips with the area.
