  2. Salt and Water balance
  3. Potassium Balance
  4. Renal Function
  5. Calcium, Phosphate and Magnesium
  6. Liver and Intestinal Function
  7. Lipids

The most important things to know here are:

  • the investigations required for a particular set of symptoms
  • methods of most important investigations
  • pathologies defined by an imbalance in a particular measurable parameter (hyper/hypo-*-aemia etc.)
  • some background information, mostly physiology
