The purpose of "Clinical Gastroenterology" is to provide a practical approach to
the diagnosis and management of patients with disorders of the gastrointestinal
system. It covers the major symptoms in G.I. diseases, as well as the common
clinical conditions that a gastroenterologist would confront in daily practice.
Dr. Mehta also gives an overview of related areas such as radiology, pathology,
microbiology, pharmacology and nutrition. Carefully selected references at the
end of each chapter provide the reader with suggestions for further
investigation. The book is designed both for students, who will use it for quick
reference and revision, and for physicians, internists and post graduate
trainees.
