About this book
A concise, practical guide to the diagnosis and treatment of liver disease. Authoritative and practical, this important new book not only spells out the advantages and limitations of the latest diagnostic tests, but also provides numerous algorithms for evaluating patients and treating the liver problems commonly encountered by primary care physicians. Here, too, the reader will find described the nuances of serological tests for the detection of viral infections and how best to use invasive and noninvasive radiological tests in specific circumstances. Common complications are fully discussed and detailed practical information is given on how to recognize the patient's immediate problems and deal with them effectively. This book's numerous diagrams, clinical "pearls", and cost comparisons will clarify the often complex and bewildering array of conditions associated with liver disease and make it a definitive and indispensable guide for primary care physicians, medical students, and residents.
Reviews
"It is a well-constructed manual for medical students and general practitioners, presenting only the material that is necessary for diagnosis and treatment of patients with common liver and biliary disorders. The editors have selected leading experts from various medical centers to write the specific chapters of the book, thereby assuring high quality. . .All parts are well illustrated with figures, tables, schemes, and other information sources. Each part ends with a summary and in many cases with an additional conclusion. . .Diseases of the Liver and Bile Ducts is highly recommended for medical libraries, primary care physicians of internal medicine, medical students and head nurses."-Michael Bárány, Phd, review in E-Streams
