This book provides an up-to-date and thorough introduction to general pathology. Disease processes are explained in the light of malfunctions at the cellular level, offering a rich understanding of the clinical correlates of all aspects of fundamental cellular physiology and basic biomedicine. The book has been fully revised and updated for this Second Edition, to present a current but deep understanding of disease states at the cell and tissue levels. It includes major sections on cellular pathology, inflammation, immunopathology, vascular disturbance, and tumour biology.
