Book synopsis

Case Studies for Pathophysiology features a series of patient cases that illustrate the processes and effects of diseases across multiple body systems. The book presents scenarios where readers analyze symptoms, discuss possible diagnoses, and review options for clinical management. Through these examples, the book emphasizes understanding the underlying pathophysiological changes that result in different disease states.

Each chapter explores an individual case, focusing on organ systems such as nervous, digestive, endocrine, reproductive, circulatory, respiratory, musculoskeletal, integumentary, and immune systems. These progress through patient history, clinical presentations, physical and laboratory assessments, differential diagnosis, recommended diagnostic testing, treatment plans, and prognosis. The book applies a consistent framework-summarized by the acronym OLD CARTS-to guide structured clinical reasoning. Additionally, an appendix describes common diagnostic tests such as A1C, D-dimer, ESR, EEG, ECG, and imaging techniques.

Case Studies for Pathophysiology is designed for students in undergraduate and professional health degree programs such as medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dental, and allied health disciplines. It is intended for use in courses that address pathophysiology and can be integrated into traditional, problem-based, or team-based curricula.
