- Summary
- Acute Medical Illness in Old Age provides practical information on diagnosing, investigating and treating most of the common acute illnesses which present in elderly people. These include heart failure, diabetic and endocrine emergencies, acute urinary tract infections, delirium, stroke and other neurological disorders and the elderly patient in the intensive care unit.
- Chapter I sets the scene for the book with an in-depth review of the biochemical and physiological factors which influence the presentation and course of disease in old age. The contributions are from acknowledged experts who have focused on the particular unique characteristics of disease presentation and outcome in the older patient. It will therefore be invaluable to geriatricians and general physicians who manage this patient group.
