Diagnosis And Management Of Gluten Associated Disorders

This clinical casebook provides a comprehensive yet concise state-of-the-art review of gluten-associated disorders. Presented in a case-based format, the casebook reviews the overall management of celiac disease (from seronegative through classical to refractory disease) as well as non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity, with an emphasis on gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal manifestations of these disorders. Specific topics presented in these cases include, for instance, dermatitis herpetiformis, celiac disease and the liver, non-responsive celiac disease, celiac crisis, overlap with functional gastrointestinal disorders, and fructan intolerance. Two chapters written by expert dieticians share their experience in managing celiac disease and gluten/wheat sensitivity. Written by international experts in the field, Diagnosis and Management of Gluten-Associated Disorders: A Clinical Casebook is a valuable resource for both adult and pediatric gastroenterologists, hepatologists, primary care physicians, dermatologists, registered dieticians, trainees, and researchers interested in gluten-associated disorders.

Gluten-related disorders are prevalent worldwide, especially in developing countries. These diseases have similar clinical manifestations. Although they are characterized by a specific pathophysiological response to ingestion of gluten, differential diagnosis of these disorders is very challenging. Failure to diagnose and treat these disorders at an early stage, can lead to irreparable health and cost damages. Gluten-Related Disorders: Diagnostic Approaches, Treatment Pathways, and Future Perspectives solves this problem by reporting up-to-date scientific findings that allow for faster, more accurate diagnosis of gluten-related disorders as well as guidance on treatment options. By identifying the distinctive features of each of the gluten-related disorders, the chapters lead readers to optimal diagnosis and treatment options as well as better research designs for future research studies on the pathogenesis of these disorders. This reference provided by experts in the field is perfect for researchers, scientists, and medical practitioners who are involved in addressing gluten-related disorders. Provides a comprehensive overview on all aspects of gluten-related disorders, incorporating many up-to-date scientific findings Highlights the differences and overlaps in clinical presentations of gluten-related disorders in order to aid differential diagnosis Presents the current understanding of the pathogenesis of gluten-related disorders, which can be used to inform future research endeavors
