This second edition offers a comprehensive overview of the
physiological functions of vertebrate kidneys from a comparative
viewpoint, with particular emphasis on nonmammalian vertebrates.
The topics covered include renal structure; glomerular
ultrafiltration; tubular transport of inorganic ions, organic
substances, and fluid; and urine dilution and concentration.
Mammalian renal function is only considered for purposes of
comparison with nonmammalian renal function and as a frame of
reference for some of the discussions. The major findings on
nonmammalian renal function and the important unanswered questions
raised by those findings are described in detail. As such, the book
provides comprehensive information on comparative renal function
for biological scientists and advanced students of biology with
some knowledge of physiology and a desire to know more about renal
function in vertebrates, and for mammalian renal physiologists who
wish to obtain a broader view of renal function.
