Abstract
This book is an invaluable resource for primary care providers, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, medical students, medical residents, interns, house physicians and all other health professionals faced with the challenge of caring for patients with diseases of the pancreas and biliary tract. It provides a clear and concise guide to diagnosis and management. You will first gain an anatomic understanding of the systems involved, and will then be introduced to the evaluation of pancreaticobiliary diseases by means of history taking, clinical evaluation, and common laboratory tests and imaging modalities. Subsequent chapters rapidly build upon these principles, to equip you with the knowledge to recognize symptoms and signs, and select the appropriate laboratory tests and imaging modalities for accurate diagnosis.
“A very well-written consensus, useful for both postgraduates and practicing gastroenterologists. I strongly recommend this book to all clinicians seeing patients with gastrointestinal problems.”
Dr D Nageshwar Reddy, Chairman and Chief of Gastroenterology, Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, India
