This text covers the basic concepts of pathophysiology and current treatment of human disease. Each disease is presented in a consistent format, covering epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, evaluation, and treatment. "Quick Check" questions follow each major section, in order to help students reflect on what they have learned. Each body system unit includes a chapter on normal anatomy and physiology to enable students to understand the alterations brought about by disease.
