Liver Disease: Diagnosis and Management

Edited by two internationally known and respected hepatologists, this new resource examines the important concepts, principles, and facts needed for the daily care and management of liver disease patients. A group of international authors provides a global perspective on this rapidly changing field. Defines normal liver function; examines the evaluation of patients with liver disease; explores various diseases of the liver and biliary tree; discusses specialised evaluation; and presents specific treatment options. Highly illustrated with colour figures throughout, reinforcing the concepts presented. Provides specific, suggested readings rather than exhaustive lists of references.
