DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

FEATURES This text offers medical students a case-based approach to learning mechanisms of renal disease. Each chapter covers a disease, beginning with a patient case and followed by a discussion of the pathophysiology of the disease. Issues of differential diagnosis and therapy are linked to pathophysiologic mechanisms. Short questions interspersed throughout the text require students to apply their knowledge. Detailed answers to the questions are included. f f Chapter-opening Case Presentation (with summary and case discussion at end of chapter) f f Chapter-opening objectives f f Integrated open-ended questions within text (with detailed answers at the end of the chapter) f f End-of-chapter summaries f f Suggested readings f f Interactive online questions f f NEW!

FEATURES Endocrine Pathophysiology offers a comprehensive introduction to diseases of the endocrine system. Rather than providing an overwhelming amount of content on one subject, the book serves as a bridge between basic endocrine physiology and endocrine disorders. Gain a thorough understanding of key processes with full- color diagrams and medical photographs, and test your knowledge with case studies and review questions in every chapter. Endocrine Pathophysiology is the perfect tool for students who want to integrate basic science knowledge with clinical application. f f A full-color design with photos, illustrations, and dia- grams that allow students to clearly follow each topic f f Case studies in every chapter, covering a variety of endocrine disorders in both inpatient and outpatient settings f f USMLE-style questions to test students’ knowledge of crucial concepts for class and board exams f f Online material and suggested readings for a more in- depth look at each section
