Preface
CURRENT Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2024 (CMDT 2024) is the 63rd edition of this single-source reference for practitioners of adult medicine in both hospital and ambulatory settings. The book emphasizes the practical features of clinical
diagnosis and patient management in all fields of internal medicine and in specialties of interest to primary care practitioners and to subspecialists who provide general care.
With a growing recognition of systemic racism and other biases in institutions across our societies, including the institution of medicine with humility, have committed to a thorough
examination of our content to remove biased language, research, and recommendations. Since 2020, we have been pursuing
an ongoing, formal process of review and revision in an effort to recognize and correct biases and to promote equity in our
book and thus in the practice of medicine. While we, the editors, take this on as our responsibility, we also invite readers to
share with us any CMDT content that they find problematic or biased. Please email comments to CMDT@mheducation.com.
We have tried to describe populations used in the studies that form the basis of the information in CMDT and use
appropriate language where we can (eg, persons of sub-Sahara African descent, rather than African Americans). We continue, however, to use terms from original sources when study populations are broad.
House officers, medical students, and all other health professions students will find the descriptions of diagnostic and
therapeutic modalities, with citations to the current literature, of everyday usefulness in patient care.
Internists, family physicians, hospitalists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and all primary care providers of
adult medicine will appreciate CMDT as a ready reference and refresher text. Physicians in other specialties, pharmacists,
and dentists will find the book a useful basic medical reference text. Nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants
will welcome the format and scope of the book as a means of quickly referencing medical diagnosis and treatment
modalities.
Patients and their family members who seek information about the nature of specific diseases and their diagnosis and
treatment may also find this book to be a valuable resource.
