The term pathophysiology has two definitions:

  1. The functional changes associated with or resulting from disease or injury.
  2. The scientific study of such changes.

In plain terms, pathophysiology (which is exactly the same as physiopathology!) is concerned with either the bodily function changes that cause an illness or the bodily function changes that the illness causes.

Why is cystic fibrosis not a pmb condition?

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is classified as a genetic disorder rather than a rare disease or a progressive multifactorial disease (PMB) condition. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, leading to the production of thick mucus that can obstruct organs, particularly the lungs and pancreas. While it is a serious and chronic condition requiring comprehensive management, its genetic basis and clear pathophysiological mechanisms distinguish it from PMB conditions, which often involve complex interactions of multiple genes and environmental factors.
