Gallstone Formation, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention 1st Edition

Gallstone Formation, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention — 1st Edition by Rajani Sharma, Shubha Rani Sharma, Ram Prasad

Discover a definitive, clinically grounded guide to cholelithiasis that bridges current science with practical patient care. This authoritative 1st edition delivers clear explanations of gallstone pathophysiology, up-to-date diagnostic strategies, and evidence-based medical and surgical treatments tailored for modern practice.

Start with an immediate, accessible overview of how gallstones form, with emphasis on metabolic, genetic, and lifestyle risk factors—information especially relevant in South Asia and regions with rising gallstone prevalence. Follow concise, clinically useful chapters on imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI, ERCP), laboratory markers, and differential diagnosis that streamline decision-making in outpatient and emergency settings.

Treatment sections balance minimally invasive surgical techniques, endoscopic therapies, and pharmacologic options, while practical algorithms guide timing and selection of interventions. A dedicated prevention section translates science into everyday advice: risk-reduction through diet, weight management, and public-health insights that clinicians, dietitians, and primary-care providers can share with patients.

Key features:
– Practical diagnostic algorithms and flowcharts for quick reference
– Comparative reviews of laparoscopic, open, and endoscopic approaches
– Regionally relevant epidemiology and prevention strategies
– Clear, clinician-oriented language ideal for surgeons, gastroenterologists, trainees, and allied health professionals
