Book Description,

During the last quarter century, dramatic increases in our understanding of the relationship of the renal and endocrine systems have occurred. While many of these advances have been documented in original and review articles and in some standard medical, renal or endocrine textbooks, a compilation of them in one text has not been available. Of interest, it was 25 years ago in 1983 that Dr. Michael Dunn edited what we believe was the last text on this subject. One of the editors of this text also served as a chapter author in Dunn’s book. Some subjects are similar between Dunn’s and the present text. Both have chapters on the renin–angiotensin system, aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone, parathyroid hormone and Vitamin D, insulin, thyroid hormone, female sex hormones and erythropoietin. In addition, the current textbook has chapters on atrial natriuretic peptides, growth hormone, acid–base balance and pregnancy.
