Back to Home Page Please click on the **Edit this page** link to the right to edit this page. Hope this page is helpful in a better understanding of the GI pathophysiology.

Here are some important concepts for this unit: Pathophysiology of diarrhea, Intussusception, Ulcers, Portal hypertension, Intestinal obstruction, Celiac Sprue, GERD Reference:
