Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine 8th Edition Hammer, McPhee is a essential text book for students in the medical field. Pathophysiology is defined as “the study of the abnormal changes in the biological processes that underlie disease” (McPhee, Hammer, & Gordon, 2016). This book provides a comprehensive yet concise review of major pathophysiologic concepts and how they relate to clinical medicine.
Pathophysiology of Disease is divided into three sections: Basic Concepts, Etiologic Agents, and Body Systems. The Basic Concepts section covers basic pathophysiologic principles such as cell injury, inflammation, and repair. The Etiologic Agents section discusses how various infectious agents, toxins, and physical agents can cause disease. Finally, the Body Systems section covers specific pathophysiologic changes that occur in each body system. Pathophysiology of Disease is an essential text for anyone interested in pursuing a career in medicine.
