Description
Medicine – Urology Rees, George Owen A Guide to the Chemical Analysis of Blood and Urine in Healthy and Pathological Conditions, as well as Urinary Stones. Edited by Albert Braune. Leipzig, J. Wunder, 1837. IV, 171 pp. Contemporary paperback with spine label (slightly scuffed). First German edition of this work by the London physician, which has been reprinted several times. - Hirsch-H. IV, 745. - Edited by the late Professor Albert Braune of Leipzig (Hirsch-H. I, 684). - Rees wrote his book explicitly as a concise, accessible guide. He provided doctors and aspiring chemists with systematic, step-by-step methods for independently analysing blood and urine in the laboratory. Rees realised early on that the composition of urine depends directly on the chemical processes taking place in the blood. By combining the analysis of both fluids into a single volume, he laid the foundations for the modern understanding of human metabolism and kidney function. - Slightly stained in places; bookplate on the inside cover.
