4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This is a great addition to the ranks of pathophysiology books for graduate students in medicine. It also is useful as a reference while on the wards as a memory jogger for basic anatomy, physiology, and pathology of common diseases. The addition of the full-color diagrammatic illustrations and tables and the expanded case studies make the e book aesthetically pleasing and easily navigable. Overall, this is a great book to have on hand for the preclinical years, clinical years, and beyond!"--Doody's Review Service
This trusted text introduces you to clinical medicine by reviewing the pathophysiologic basis of the signs and symptoms of 100 diseases commonly encountered in medical practice. Each chapter first describes normal function of a major organ or organ system, then turns attention to the pathology and disordered physiology, including the role of genetics, immunology, and infection in pathogenesis. Underlying disease mechanisms are described, along with their systems, signs, and symptoms, and the way these mechanisms themselves determine the most effective treatment.
This unique interweaving of physiological and pathological concepts will put you on the path towards thinking about signs and symptoms in terms of their pathologic basis, giving you an understanding of the “whys” behind both illness and treatment.

Pathophysiology of Disease An Introduction to Clinical Medicine, Sixth Edition PDF
Pathophysiology of Disease An Introduction to Clinical Medicine, Sixth EditionThis book is a must have for USMLE Step 1 Prep. If you plan on getting this book the last 2 weeks prior to steps, don't bother. However if you get this book early on and start using it on a regular biases for lecture and cross reference topics or need further clarifications or to look at cases. This is your book.By Medstudent83
I would use this with the First Aid and use the case files in the end of the chapters and the bold highlighted topics of each chapter as mental maps. Should you hit upon a topic you're not familiar with look it up!
USMLE will test you're ability to understand topics and incorporate them into clinical situations.
This book is clear an concise but is is not well organized for easy reference. The book is meant as an overview with only one or two examples and it accomplishes this - but it is not written to encompass all the different diseases or processes. Look elsewhere if you are looking for a more all-encompassing text but for review or an overview of the processes with a few examples this is a wonderful text.By Megan L Bosak
