This is an updated version of this fine textbook on salt and water metabolism. New sections include hyperosmolar syndromes, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, low protein diets in chronic renal insufficiency and many others. Goldberger has retained the crystalline style that has characterized previous editions; it is a thoroughly fine presentation.
