Pallone: Renal Acid Management

[x_text]Today we are fortunate to have Dr. Thomas Pallone, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Dr. Pallone is well published in the field of renal medullary microcirculation and is one of the world’s foremost experts on renal physiology. Today he will sacrifice his valuable time to try to explain the intricate methods of acid/base management that we take for granted every day on ICU rounds. Please take 45 minutes out of your day and learn from one the best! [/x_text]
