Overview

Fundamentals of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition is a comprehensive clinical reference for understanding, diagnosing, and managing digestive, liver, pancreatic, and nutritional disorders from infancy through adolescence. Designed for healthcare professionals, medical students, residents, trainees, and pediatric care teams, this textbook connects developmental biology with real-world clinical decision-making. It guides readers through the foundations of pediatric gastrointestinal anatomy, physiology, mucosal immunity, microbiome development, clinical evaluation, imaging, endoscopy, and diagnostic reasoning. Inside, readers will find detailed coverage of congenital and neonatal conditions, including esophageal and intestinal atresias, gastroschisis, malrotation, Hirschsprung disease, and necrotizing enterocolitis. The book also addresses infectious, inflammatory, immune-mediated, functional, and motility disorders, including celiac disease, pediatric IBD, GERD, eosinophilic esophagitis, constipation, functional abdominal pain, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Later chapters explore pediatric liver disease, neonatal cholestasis, biliary atresia, pancreatitis, pancreatic insufficiency, malnutrition, enteral and parenteral nutrition, intestinal failure, short-bowel syndrome, transplantation, transition to adult care, and emerging therapies. With its integrated clinical and mechanistic approach, this textbook helps readers move beyond memorization toward deeper clinical understanding. It emphasizes pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, evidence-based management, complications, prevention, long-term outcomes, and the developmental needs of children and families. For anyone seeking a structured, modern, and clinically grounded guide to pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, this book offers a practical foundation for learning, teaching, and patient-centered care.
