Lecture Notes: Gastroenterology and Hepatology

About this book

A concise undergraduate text in five parts. Clinical basics cover the approach to abdominal pain, liver and luminal disease, nutrition, infections and investigations; a section on emergencies deals with GI bleeding, acute liver failure and acute pancreatitis. Regional chapters run from the oral cavity through oesophagus, stomach, bowel, colon, anorectum, pancreas and biliary tree to a full set of liver topics including viral, autoimmune, alcoholic and fatty liver disease, tumours, pregnancy and transplantation. It ends with revision aids such as history and examination routines, common OSCE cases and self-assessment case studies with answers.
