Each chapter first describes normal function of a major organ or organ system, then turns attention to the pathology and disordered physiology, including the role of genetics, immunology, and infection in pathogenesis. Underlying disease mechanisms are described, along with their systems, signs, and symptoms, and the way these mechanisms themselves determine the most effective treatment A complete case-based review of the essentials of pathophysiology - covering all major organs and systems A fun, fast, case-based way to learn the basics of pathophysiology -- enriched by 360 all-new questions.
