Gastrointestinal Liver Pancreatic Diseases/ The digestive system made up of the gastrointestinal tract (GI), liver, pancreas, and gallbladder help the body digest food. Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which your body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair.
Gastrointestinal (GI), liver, and pancreatic diseases are a source of substantial morbidity, mortality, and cost in the United States (US). Quantification and statistical analyses of the burden of these diseases are important for researchers, clinicians, policy makers, and public health professionals.
Many times your doctor must rule out other conditions in order to determine your diagnosis. The more information you can communicate about your symptoms, discomforts and daily activities, the more informed your doctor will be to make an accurate diagnosis.
