This brand new text covers all aspects of the diagnosis and medical treatment of inflammation bowel disease, clinical signs, disease activity and progress, reoccurrence, complications, and nutritional aspects, diagnosis, medical treatments, and new surgical techniques. It offers up-to-date information on epidemiology, genetics, immunology, etiology, and pathogenesis of the disease. Hundreds of illustrations aid in the recognition of signs and symptoms, and tables, figures, and diagrams quickly present essential information. Histopathology, endoscopy and skin and eye images appear in color.
