Pediatric and Adult Coeliac Disease: A Clinically Oriented Perspective provides an up-to-date, comprehensive, and critical overview of coeliac disease, its complications, and related disorders. The book covers the epidemiological, pathogenetic, diagnostic, and treatment issues including pediatric and adult cases, with a broad and international view.
This is the perfect reference for researchers dedicated to advancing the field of translational coeliac disease research as well as clinicians who are diagnosing and managing coeliac disease throughout all of its various stages.
