Learn the how and why of disease and dysfunction! With clear, in-depth descriptions of how diseases develop and affect the body, McCance & Huether's Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children, 10th Edition, helps you understand the most important and complex pathophysiology concepts. More than 1,300 full-color illustrations and photographs demonstrate disease processes by body system, making it easier to identify normal anatomy and physiology and to recognize alterations of function occurring throughout the lifespan. Written by nursing educator Julia Rogers, DNP, FNP-BC, FAANP, FAAN, and a team of expert contributors, this book is the most comprehensive pathophysiology text available!
Unparalleled coverage of pathophysiology content makes this the most comprehensive and authoritative pathophysiology text on the market
Lifespan content includes ten separate pediatric chapters and special sections with aging and pediatrics content
Coverage of rare diseases and epigenetics further explores genetic disease traits
Logical, consistent presentation of diseases includes the most current information on etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment
More than 1,300 full-color photographs and illustrations depict disease processes, the clinical manifestations of disease, pathologic specimens, and clinical imaging techniques ? that's more than in any other pathophysiology text
Algorithms and flowcharts of diseases and disorders make it easy for you to follow the sequential progression of disease processes
Emerging Science boxes highlight the latest research and clinical developments related to diseases and disorders
Chapter summary reviews provide concise synopses of the main points of each chapter
More than 30 3D animations on the companion Evolve website bring difficult concepts to life for a new perspective on disease processes
