Gain an in-depth understanding of the concepts and processes of disease! Understanding Pathophysiology, 8th Edition provides a concise, comprehensive introduction to the way diseases work and how changes occur in the body as a result. With a clinically focused approach, the book begins by explaining cell structure and function. It then examines alterations by body systems and provides a practical guide to clinical manifestations, summaries of treatment, and health promotion strategies. This edition adds new algorithms, case studies for the Next-Generation NCLEX® Exam, and updated content on COVID-19, obesity, and cancer epidemiology. Written by a team of nursing educators led by Sue Huether, this text helps you develop clinical judgment and apply concepts to practice.

Key Features
NEW! Case studies for the Next-Generation NCLEX® Exam (NGN) are provided on the Evolve website, helping you develop clinical judgment.
NEW! Content updates address infectious disease, COVID-19 and post-COVID conditions, systemic pathophysiologic effects of obesity, cancer epidemiology, and more.
NEW! Additional new algorithms show the pathophysiologic pathways and progression of disease.
Consistent presentation of each disease includes pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and evaluation and treatment.
Lifespan content includes nine separate chapters with pediatric content and special sections on aging within the adult chapters, along with special boxes that highlight aging and pediatric content.
More than 1000 illustrations include photographs showing pathologic features of disease as well as micrographs showing normal and abnormal cellular structure.
Risk Factor boxes show how certain risk factors are associated with specific diseases.
Quick Check boxes appear at the end of major sections and are designed to help you recall the most important content.
End-of-chapter Summary Reviews highlight the major concepts presented in each chapter.
Did You Know boxes discuss new developments in biologic research, diagnostic studies, preventive care, treatments, and more.
