This henceforth classical textbook has become indispensable for those
in the front line dealing with metabolic disorders. As with previous
editions the book is aimed at all those involved with this specialty
including pediatricians, biochemists, dieticians, neurologists,
internists, geneticists, psychologists, nurses, and social workers.
This 4th edition has been thoroughly updated and revised and John
Walter has joined the three other editors. One new chapter on
Neonatal screening by tandem MS/MS has been added and several new
groups of disorders have been included; for example defects involving
the pentose phosphate pathway (polyols metabolism) and disorders of
glucose transport. The first chapter presents the clinical approach
to inherited metabolic disease using many algorithms and tables and
has been entirely revised and extended to include adult metabolic
medicine. It now incorporates many new findings particularly in
neuroradiology and neurophysiology and emphasises those disorders for
which treatment is available. This accessible and practical book can
be used either by going directly to the relevant chapter when the
diagnosis is already suspected or by referring to Chapter 1 if it is
unknown. Despite the numerous updates the book has been maintained at
a reasonable size and is published as a single volume of
approximately 550 pages divided into 43 Chapters.
