By: Emad Qayed, Nikrad Shahnavaz
🧠 Think clearly. Act confidently. Diagnose systematically.
Designed for gastroenterologists, trainees, internists, ER doctors, and family physicians, this practical guide helps clinicians tackle complex GI cases with clarity and structure. Using 80 easy-to-follow diagnostic and treatment algorithms, the book walks you through every step of managing both common and unfamiliar GI and liver conditions.
🔍 Why This Book Stands Out:
✅ 80 concise, one-page algorithms for:
• GI symptoms & signs
• Esophageal, hepatic, pancreatic, and colorectal disorders
✅ Facing-page format:
• Left: clean visual algorithm
• Right: practical instructions for decision points
✅ Covers a wide range of conditions, including:
• Esophageal motility disorders & achalasia
• Celiac disease & IBS
• Acute pancreatitis & hepatic encephalopathy
• Hepatocellular carcinoma
• Colonic ischemia
• Immune checkpoint inhibitor colitis
• Biologic therapy in IBD
• And many more!
💡 What You’ll Gain:
• A first-line framework for evaluating patients with GI complaints
• Step-by-step logic that brings order to complexity
• Point-of-care guidance to support fast, informed decisions
• Systematic reasoning that strengthens both clinical skills and patient outcomes
🎯 Whether you’re on the wards, in clinic, or prepping for boards, this book helps you stay sharp, efficient, and evidence-based — even in the face of diagnostic uncertainty.
