Thick as the day is long but well written!
No regrets at all - a premier resource for when time allows a chapter or two.
You can purchase with confidence.

Must read for some:

This is a complete introduction to acid-base and fluid-electrolyte problems. Simple and yet detailed enough to answer most questions. Indispensable for the nephrology trainee and practicing nephrologist.
While this is a must read for renal fellows, its an excellent resource for both medical students and internal medicine residents. Several chapters are also available in the nephrology section of UpToDate as chapters on physiology if you just need to refer to a section of the book.

Good one:

Nice book with a good description of acid base balance and electrolyte disturbances. Time spent reviewing concepts is well wort it.

Thorough and easy to read:

As a medical student with an interest in nephrology and acid-base disorders, this book provides a readable but rigorous discussion of the subject. Chapters are well-organized and do not have to be read in order - they are written to be independently referenced as the need arises.
