Alzheimer disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. This leads to the death of brain cells, resulting in cognitive decline and memory loss.
The brain shrinks in size, particularly in areas responsible for memory and cognition. This results in cognitive decline, including memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with problem-solving and language.
Alzheimer disease also affects behavior, leading to changes in mood, personality, and social interactions. It may be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Pathophysiology refers to the study of how diseases or conditions disrupt the normal functioning of the body. It involves understanding how the body’s organs, tissues, and cells are affected by the disease process.
Pathophysiology focuses on how these changes can disrupt the normal functioning of the body’s systems. By understanding pathophysiology, doctors can better diagnose and treat diseases, and develop effective interventions to restore the body to its normal state of health.
