Publisher's Synopsis
The study of neonatal and paediatric pathophysiology is vital to modern paediatric practice. The pathophysiology of the developing child is dynamic, with various interactions occurring with the underlying metabolic and endocrine events of growth. This textbook systematically describes paediatric physiology and biochemistry, using a scientific approach closely linked with clinical pediatrics, neonatology and foetal medicine. The explanation of pathophysiology, at the highest level that the clinician requires, makes the book suitable for trainees taking postgraduate examinations.
