Five years have passed since the second edition of With respect to the contents of the book, most chapters have been rewritten or extensively revised. A Inborn Metabolic Diseases; Diagnosis and Treatment was published. The third edition, now being presented, few chapters from the second edition have been deleted, since their contents are discussed in other has been thoroughly updated and revised. Again, the clinical presentation, the methods to arrive at the chapters of the present edition. A few new chapters diagnosis and the treatment of the patient have have been introduced, such as a general chapter on remained the focus of the book, that for a large part treatment, which gives a comprehensive list of present has been written by clinicians for clinicians. The scope treatments and new trends, a chapter on persistent of the readership has enlarged: from the original teams hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, a combined chapter of pediatricians, biochemists and dieticians it now also on disorders of ketogenesis and ketolysis, a chapter on disorders of proline and serine metabolism, a chapter encompasses neurologists, internists, geneticists and psychosocial workers. This reflects the fact that for on disorders of cholesterol synthesis, and a chapter on many inborn metabolic diseases the survival of the defective leukotriene synthesis. For more detailed patients and their quality of life have improved.

"[This title] is a pleasure to read...Written by clinicians for clinicians... It covers briefly but comprehensively disorders of carbohydrate, amino acid, and mitochondrial energy metabolism, as well as disorders of neurotransmitters, lipids, nucleic acid and heme metabolism, and metal transport and disorders related to organelles... this is an invaluable book for anyone seeking a short, practical, authoritative work on inborn errors of metabolism, and the authors are to be congratulated."
