McGraw-Hill Medical
Physiology PhD. Armando Hasudungan for the basics. Once you watch all of those videos you can move on to the Vanders books. They're slim books but comprehensive. Find them on Amazon for like $20. You can finish a book in a few weeks if you're committed. Dont worry about buying the most up to date edition...our understanding of physiology doesnt change all that much year to year.

In grad school we used Vander's Renal Physiology. https://www.amazon.com/Vanders-Renal-Physiology-Eighth-Medical/dp/0071797483
Short-ish text. Good info throughout. We also coupled it with case studies about things like dilutional hyponatremia, diabetes (mellitus and insipidus), pheochromocytoma, rhabdomyolysis, and acute glomerulonephritis (to name but a few).
Topics that helped me feel like I'd mastered renal phys included being able to talk about/answer: what is the master blood pressure regulator- brain, heart, or kidneys? Explain countercurrent flow. Explain RAS. Be able to discuss metabolic and respiratory compensation for changes in acid/base chemistry.
Enjoy, renal phys was my favorite system I studied.
