Description: Gain the in-depth understanding of pathophysiology you need to guide your patient care! Using a systems approach, Pathophysiology, 8th Edition, examines the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment of diseases and disorders. The book begins with a review of normal anatomy and physiology, followed by pathophysiology and application of concepts to specific disorders. Each chapter includes a discussion of the disease processes and abnormalities that may occur, with a focus on the pathophysiologic concepts involved. Written by a team of expert contributors led by Jacquelyn Banasik, this text emphasizes the major pathophysiology concepts relevant to clinical practice while not overwhelming the reader with minute detail. |
