  • Hépatologie de l'enfant

    • French
    L’hépatologie pédiatrique est une spécialité relativement jeune, et en constante progression. Les maladies touchant le foie de l’enfant sont, dans leur grande majorité, différentes de celles de l’adulte, et nécessitent une prise en charge spécifique. Les auteurs abordent l’hépatologie en plaçant la clinique au coeur de la démarche diagnostique : comment explorer le foie chez l’enfant, quelle conduite à tenir devant un « gros foie », ou devant une insuffisance hépatique, et selon l’âge de l’enfant. Fruit du travail de plus d’une quarantaine de spécialistes, Hépatologie de l’enfant fournit les informations nécessaires à une prise en charge optimale du nourrisson, de l’enfant et l’adolescent, présentant une maladie génétique, malformative ou immunologique, une infection (virale, bactérienne, parasitaire), une tumeur ou un traumatisme du foie et des voies biliaires. Toutes les maladies du foie sont traitées ici, ainsi que les questions liées à la transplantation hépatique, le retentissement psychique et affectif de ces maladies, et l’organisation de la transition en service d’adultes. Le spectre couvert est large, permettant au pédiatre d’aborder mieux armé ces pathologies souvent rares, et de savoir quand demander un avis spécialisé. Ce guide pratique est une aide indispensable pour les praticiens confirmés ou débutants dans leur accompagnement des enfants et familles touchés par ces pathologies.
