Main description:

Special Volume 23 of Recent Advances in Pediatrics is a compilation of reviews bringing trainees and physicians fully up to date with key developments in paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition.

Divided into four sections, Part 1 discusses issues in paediatric gastroenterology such as irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, abdominal pain and gastrointestinal endoscopy. Part 2 examines hepatologic disorders that may be encountered in children, including acute liver failure, viral hepatitis and liver transplantation.
