Features content on everything from the general principles of pathophysiology to detailed discussions of genetics and specific diseases. This book also includes chapters on alteration that present the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and evaluation and treatment of each disease to help you learn to identify normal anatomy and physiology.
