Pathophysiology of Disease: An
Introduction to Clinical Medicine 8E
A full-color case-based review of
the essentials of pathophysiology
covering all major organs and
systems
More than 130 case
studies with Q&A
The goal of this
trusted text is to introduce you to
clinical medicine by reviewing the
pathophysiologic basis of 132
diseases (and associated signs and
symptoms) commonly encountered in
medical practice. The authors, all
experts in their respective fields,
have provided a concise review of
relevant normal structure and
function of each body system,
followed by a description of the
pathophysiologic mechanisms that
underlie several common diseases
related to that system. The
accessible presentation features
high-quality full-color
illustrations, and numerous tables
and diagrams.
Each chapter of
Pathophysiology of Disease concludes
with a collection of case studies
and questions designed to test your
understanding of the pathophysiology
of each clinical entity discussed.
These case studies allow you to
apply your knowledge to specific
clinical situations. Detailed
answers to each case study question
are provided at the end of the book.
This unique interweaving of
physiological and pathological
concepts will put you on the path
towards thinking about signs and
symptoms in terms of their
pathophysiological basis, giving you
an understanding of the "why" behind
illness and treatment.
