Synopsis

From the First Symptom to the Right Clinical Decision

Melena with falling blood pressure. Six weeks of bloody diarrhea. Jaundice with an ALT in the thousands.

Gastroenterology rarely begins with a diagnosis. It begins with a symptom, an abnormal result, or a decision that cannot wait.

Clinical Gastroenterology Handbook is designed to help you reason from that first presentation to a safe, evidence-based plan.

Every chapter begins with a realistic patient case, explains the underlying mechanisms, evaluates the investigations and treatment options, then returns to resolve the original case. Recommendations are attributed to the relevant professional society and dated, helping you see both the source and currency of the guidance.

Inside You’ll Find:

• The GI consultation and diagnostic toolkit, including endoscopy, imaging, function testing, sedation, and antithrombotic management
• Upper GI disorders, including GERD, H. pylori, peptic ulcer disease, gastroparesis, and GI bleeding
• IBD, celiac disease, chronic diarrhea, constipation, IBS, malabsorption, and colorectal cancer screening
• Comprehensive coverage of the pancreas, biliary system, and liver
• High-stakes emergencies, including acute liver failure, mesenteric ischemia, obstruction, volvulus, and caustic ingestion
• 100+ reference tables, clinical pearls, red flags, differentials, mechanisms, and drug rationale
• Practical appendices covering drugs, laboratory values, scoring systems, and endoscopic classifications

Written for medical students, residents, early gastroenterology fellows, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in GI and hepatology.

Keep it close when the next GI patient arrives.
