Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Diseases in Adults and Children by Rn McCance Kathryn L.

From its presentation of cellular biology to its systematic survey of specific diseases, "Pathophysiology" integrates the theory of the basic sciences with the clinical manifestations of physiologic alterations. Thorough discussions of the fundamental concepts of normal anatomy and physiology lead to an understanding of disease development, which the authors enhance by including coverage of pathogenesis in children and the elderly.
