5.0 out of 5 stars
great for advanced studies,
By E. Sudario - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States (Hardcover)
I'm an NP student so the study of advanced pathophysiology requires understanding different disease states from a cellular level to be able to fully integrate information you learned in pathophysiology back in undergraduate school. I also have Principles of Anatomy and Physiology by Tortora & Derrickson (an absolutely excellent book) which I use in tandem with Porth & Matfin. I can definitely see the difference between the two. I use Tortora to get a good grasp of physiology and Porth for in-depth information - which, for example, will discuss alpha and beta chains of certain proteins, which is information you may not need to know as an undergraduate student. However, as a primary care provider, being able to know the disease process in-depth allows you to integrate information and have a full understanding of a disease as it differs from a normal homeostatic state. I wouldn't recommend this book for undergraduate studies as a sole text book, but do highly encourage it if you are in graduate school and want an extensive know-how of diseases.

Porth very "wordy" book,
By Karen Jersey - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States (Hardcover)
In an effort to guide the reader logically through patho, the book repeats itself many times and is very difficult to use. The online animations are low level. I found Guyton muuch easier to use. The book attempts to adresss both basic pathophysiology from a low to level then discusses specialty treatments that are beyond the scope of the book in some areas while lacking the needed depth in other areas. Excellent discussion of cardiology and hyperlipidemias.Dipiro has a Pharmacology book tha tincludes a much deeper discussion of pathophysiology. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful

Run away!,
By Stephanie Hold "Always studying for nursing" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States (Hardcover)
I'm knee deep in this book and it is a nightmare.Vocab words are italicized, not bolded, making them difficult to spot when reviewing; very frequently they are not found in the glossary. You will need a medical dictionary while reading this book. The authors frequently reference diseases via acronym--before they explain what the disease is later in the chapter or later in the book. There are very few charts comparing/contrasting diseases and there is a significant lack of flow charts. Considering this monster of a book is over 1600 pages, there are no multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter. The accompanying Study Guide has a few multiple choice questions, but not nearly enough. The book has so many different authors it's a crap shoot with each chapter...many are dry and dull. By some miracle I have a "B" in my online pathophys class. I attribute it to: Pathophysiology: Reviews & Rationales (which happens to cite Porth frequently), Clinical Pathophysiology made ridiculously simple, and multiple study guides for other Pathophys textbooks. |
