Clinic Handbook of Gastroenterology

About this book

A practical guide to the gastroenterology outpatient clinic, written by a team at the Royal Cornwall Hospital for senior house officers and specialist registrars. The early chapters take a symptom-based approach to investigation: dyspepsia, dysphagia, jaundice, iron deficiency anaemia, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, abnormal liver tests, change in bowel habit and weight loss. Later chapters cover screening, IBD, IBS, chronic viral and non-viral liver disease, coeliac disease and nutrition, followed by service development, patient information, teaching, quality assurance, radiology and palliation of GI symptoms.
