The Little Black Book of
Gastroenterology, 3rd Edition
By Mikel Rothenberg, MD
By David W. Hay, MD
To appreciate the mechanisms of
disease, it’s essential to understand
how things work normally. It
then becomes straightforward
to appreciate how normal
structure and function are altered,
resulting in illness. Laboratory
medicine, biochemistry, pharmacology and
pathophysiology are integrally related to
each other. This book will provide a “one-stop
shopping experience” for the information you
really need to know about the selected topics.
The Little Black Book of
Gastroenterology, Third Edition is a
convenient resource offering quick
access to vital information at the
point of care. Completely revised
and updated, the Third Edition of
this compact handbook provides
comprehensive, practical, evidence-based
information on the diagnosis and treatment of
diseases in gastroenterology and hepatology.
The introductory section addresses common
problems in gastroenterology and cross
references specific disease states.
