Porth's Pathophysiology

• Approachable presentation builds understanding from basic to advanced concepts and defines key terms as you progress.
• “Chunked” content keeps you focused on the most critical information and helps you review salient points efficiently.
• Unit-Opening Case Studies , which are revisited in one or more chapters in the unit, bring pathophysiology to life and equip you for success in clinical practice.
• Approximately 1,000 vibrant illustrations clarify the clinical manifestations of diseases and disease processes.
• Understanding boxes break physiologic processes and phenomena into their sequential parts, providing insight into the many opportunities for disease to disrupt the processes.
• Key Points boxes and In Summary sections reduce the need for memorization and help you incorporate important points into broader conceptual units.
• NEW! Pediatric Considerations and Geriatric Considerations boxes in each chapter specify how the chapter content applies to these two special populations.
• NEW! Concept Mastery Alerts explain topics that students can find confusing.
• Review Exercises at the end of each chapter test your retention and identify areas for further study.
• References provide fast, efficient access to normal laboratory values in both conventional and SI units, as well as a comprehensive glossary.
• Narrated animations referenced by icons in the text and available online enhance your understanding of the most challenging and clinically relevant concepts.
