Pancreatitis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Two authors with special interests in the field of pancreatology present an up-to-date overview of acute and chronic pancreatitis. The etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical features of these diseases are included as well as complications, treatment strategies, and prognostic factors. Two chapters about congenital abnormalities and hereditary pancreatic diseases complete this book. Every chapter is well-structured to make the book useful for everyday practice. It can also be used as an actual reference book.
