 Great summary July 3, 2008
I was surprised by the detail that this small book covered, but it explained just enough without being too much. Very good for someone needing a little more guidance through the topic of electrolytes and such. Lots of information in each short chapter and good practice questions.
Acid Base can be straight forward April 16, 2008
This book truly reduces the breadth of information to a manageable and understandable format.
I recommend this book for anyone needing a refresher of previously learned information, and for those that need a thorough basis for future study.

This book is awesome. It gets right to the point. Preston is incredible. He actually taught some of our acid-base lectures during renal, and they were some of the best lectures we have had. I highly recommend this book!

I purchased this book with some doubt, because you see a very high variability in these series. Now, i am very happy. Every medical student and resident gets frustrated with fliuid and electrolytes. Reading textbooks makes it worse. I have seen a lot of attendings and Nephrologists (!!) who are scared of this subject. This book can help you tremendously. It is written in a very simple language and gives you the proper approach to fluid and electrolyte problems. It is full of practical examples that you will see every day and shows you how to solve them. After reading this book, you will be confident enough to deal with electrolytes. Instead of replacing electrolytes blindly with K-Dur and Neutra-Phos and .... and not knowing what to do with Hyponatremia, you will have a nice framework in your brain to deal with them. And the best part: It is a small book. Don't hesitate to get it. You won't regret.
