An Introduction To Human Disease

Introduction to Human Disease, Sixth Edition is a clearly written, user friendly, profusely illustrated book that takes a systems approach to presenting human disease. Specifically designed for students in the allied health and nursing fields, this edition correlates structure and function disturbances, and indicates how the disturbances cause the clinical manifestations of the various diseases, and guide treatment. Though vastly updated, the text is still organized into two main sections: the first covers general concepts and diseases that affect the body as a whole the second takes a systems approach which details disorders typically affecting specific organ systems.
