Human Acid-Base Physiology is written for pre-clinical medical students and other physiology students of equivalent standard. It is a logical, self-contained text which explains the fundamentals of common clinical disorders of acid-base regulation. The book covers physical chemistry, the essentials of acid-base physiology, the assessment of acid-base status, and finally the field of acid-base physiology is put into perspective in the wider context of the physiology of the whole organism. The book provides a physiological basis from which subsequent clinical studies should form a continuum with Basic Medical Science.
