"Clinical Gastroenterology" tackles the question of choosing the optimal approach for a given clinical problem. Practising and trainee gastroenterologists are provided with a brief assessment of the medical and surgical options available for the investigation and treatment of a range of gastro-intestinal disorders. Each chapter deals with a different symptom (such as constipation), specific disease (such as Crohn's disease), or clinical situation (such as the patient found unexpectedly with abnormal liver function tests). Topics of growing importance to the gastroenterologist include aspects of nutrition and the gastro-intestinal manifestations of AIDS.
