Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease

This textbook focuses on the pediatric aspects of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). It covers diagnostic approaches, special nutrition, growth, and bone density, as well as psychosocial considerations that are specific to the young and may thus not exist in adults. Chapters discuss the full range of topics from IBD genetics right through to nutritional and growth aspects and condition management. The book features many visual aids as well as endoscopy and surgery images.
