Main description:

This book is a practical guide to assist students with preparation for pathology examinations.

Divided into three sections, the text begins with discussion on general pathology covering cellular responses to injury, wound healing, inflammation, genetic disorders and more.

The second section discusses blood cells and clinical pathology, and section three covers systemic pathology including disorders of the heart, lung, pancreas, kidney, endocrine system, skin and much more.

The third edition of this comprehensive manual has been fully revised to provide students with the latest information in the field. Many new topics and illustrations are new to this edition.

Keywords are highlighted throughout the text and numerous photographs, diagrams and tables further enhance the book.

Also included is an extensive bibliography as well as three appendices detailing key pathologies and cells, and laboratory values.
