* A unique, pocket companion devoted to fluid, electrolyte and acid base homeostasis. Printed in a handy format designed to enhance its portability, this book will provide an instant self-study guide for undergraduate biomedical, pharmacology, medical and allied health undergraduates.

This textbook provides a unique, pocket-sized, self-directed study guide to fluid, electrolyte and acid base homeostasis for undergraduate biomedical science, pharmacology, medical and allied health students. It details the chemical (mostly ionic) composition of body fluids, explains how abnormalities arise, what laboratory tests can be used to identify and analyze the cause of these disorders and shows how normality can be achieved to maintain health.

Dr Stephen Reed is a Senior Lecturer of Biochemistry at the University of Westminster. Dr. Gillian Cockerill, Surgeon Department of Surgery, St George's University of London.
