DESCRIPTION
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.

DESCRIPTION
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.
