Essentials of Pathophysiology

Mechanisms of Disease

Essentials of Pathophysiology: Mechanisms of Disease is a concise undergraduate- and graduate-level book that traces how disease begins at the level of the cell and unfolds to produce the signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings seen in patients.

In eighteen focused chapters, it covers the general principles of disease, every major body system, and an integrated, case-based closing chapter that brings the mechanisms together at the bedside.

Built for active learning

Clear language, comparison tables, scientific figures, and highlighted key points support study and revision, while a large bank of review questions — each with a full answer key — builds confident clinical reasoning.

  • Clear, plain-language explanations of disease mechanisms
  • Comparison tables that contrast related disorders side by side
  • Scientific figures illustrating cellular and systemic processes
  • Highlighted key points for rapid revision
  • A large review-question bank with complete answer keys

From the cell to the clinic — pathophysiology made coherent for students who must reason, not just memorise.

— From the authors’ preface

The book is the first title from Punica Science Publishing, co-published in partnership with Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University. It is currently in production and is expected to publish in 2026.
