What is Pathophysiology?
Pathophysiology refers to the study of abnormalities in the physiologic functioning of living beings. (aka study
of disease)
Chapter 1: Introduction to Pathophysiology Concepts
Framework for Pathophysiology
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
An understanding of the etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations of a particular disorder leads to a
diagnosis, which suggests that certain treatments may be helpful.
o Based on common or “classic” presentation of disease in the physiologic functioning of human
beings
o Interrelated topics in pathophysiology
Etiology
Pathogenesis
Clinical manifestations
Diagnosis and Treatment implications
Etiology
o Study of causes or reasons for a phenomena o Identifies causal factors that, acting in concert,
provoke a particular disease or injury.
o Classifications
Idiopathic:
• The cause is unknown.
Iatrogenic:
• Cause results from unintended or unwanted medical treatment o Side
and adverse effects
o Risk factor(s)
A factor that when present, increases the likelihood of disease.
DOES NOT guarantee the individual will get the specific disease.
