A complete case-based review of the essentials of pathophysiology – covering all major organs and systems
This trusted text introduces you to clinical medicine by reviewing the pathophysiologic basis of the signs and symptoms
of 100 diseases commonly encountered in medical practice. 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.
This unique interweaving of physiological and pathological concepts will put you on the path towards thinking about signs and symptoms in terms of their pathologic basis, giving you an understanding of the “whys” behind both illness and treatme

I
appreciate the promptness with which your company sends its products
out, and I also appreciate that they remain in the new condition on
arrival to me. Thank You. One drawback I have seen to your site is that
when you end up being late sending an item there are times when you
back the date up for several more weeks, which when your a student you
need these books to arrive as soon as possible to keep up with reading
assignments.
Summary: Excellent Pathophysiology book
Rating: 5
This
is an excellent pathophysiology book available in the market. I am
right now preparing for my step 2 but I wish I would have used this
book for my step 1. I have a decent score on my step 1 and I have taken
the exam recently and I think if somebody masters this book they can
rock the exam. This book gives excellent information regarding many
diseases. I am trying to study this book right now with CMDT, which is
also by the same author. Because CMDT is a very concise text book of IM
it doesn't explain all the pathophysiology for a disease but this book
has all the answers about the pathophysiology of a disease. And I think
its a worth buying book for all the medical students, if you study this
book little by little during
preclinical years it will help you very much understand the IM in the
clinical years. I was surprize to find some infornation which I was
craving for since few years of my med school. You will even find
pathophysilogy of very rare syndromes, as for example I was amazed when I read about X linked Hypophosphatemic rickets. If you are like me who wants to have explanation behind everything, get this book today, you wan't be disappointed.
