Infos

Practical, handy and succinct, this full colour pocketbook
provides clear-cut clinical guidance to the main symptoms that
infants and children commonly present with in both primary and
secondary care.

Clearly divided into specific sections covering the GI tract, liver
and nutrition, Professor Kelly and her team discuss how best to
investigate and manage specific clinical problems such as
vomiting, abdominal pain, acute diarrhoea, constipation and
jaundice using a highly clinical problem-orientated
approach.

They cover the management of important clinical problems such as
chronic liver disease, ascites, malnutrition, obesity, coeliac
disease and inflammatory bowel disease, and provide advice on
nutritional problems in premature infants and children including
weaning and food aversion.

Key points, potential pitfalls, and management algorithms allow
for rapid-reference, and link with the latest evidence,
guidelines and protocols from ESPGHAN and NASPGHAN providing
coverage of the major professional society recommendations for
clinical practice.

Brought to you by the experts, Practical Approach to
Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition is the perfect
accompaniment for trainees in gastroenterology,
hepatology and pediatrics, as well as nutritionists, GI nurses
and GPs.
