An Authoritative Guide to Chronic Pediatric Abdominal Pain: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Management provides a comprehensive and extensive overview of all aspects relevant to the care of children with abdominal pain. It includes chapters tailored to each discipline, level of training, and primary interest (clinical or research), covering daily practice, diagnosis, testing, conventional and complementary treatments, interdisciplinary care, and the transition to adult gastroenterology treatment. The book critically updates the evidence behind these methods and prepares readers to understand more advanced techniques. Topics include early adverse life events, intestinal permeability, visceral hypersensitivity, sex differences, microbiome infections, use of antibiotics, and the microbiome.
Information on clinical perspectives and management in the emergency department helps inform pediatricians, gastroenterologists, residents, fellows, and nurse practitioners about the scientific basis for prior workups, differential diagnoses, and the rationale behind them. In addition, this book helps clinicians understand the basic research behind these factors, how they influence pathophysiology, clinical presentation, progression, and outcomes.
