Scope: Pathophysiology is the study of causes of diseases and reactions of the body to such disease
producing causes. This course is designed to impart a thorough knowledge of the relevant aspects of pathology
of various conditions with reference to its pharmacological applications, and understanding of basic
pathophysiological mechanisms. Hence it will not only help to study the syllabus of pathology, but also to get
baseline knowledge required to practice medicine safely, confidently, rationally and effectively.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of the subject student shall be able to–
 Describe the etiology and pathogenesis of the selected disease states;
 Name the signs and symptoms of the diseases; and
 Mention the complications of the diseases.
UNIT – I 10 Hours
