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.
