About this book
The new edition of this pocket guide has been fully updated to cover the common manifestations of liver disease, how to treat them and when to refer patients on to specialist centers. New chapters on Acute Liver Failure, Nutrition and Congenital Heart Disease have been added to reflect the key issues in management of liver diseases. The book outlines the common clinical liver diseases such as fatty liver disease and viral hepatitis, among others, and their current up to date management.
Written by experts in the field and containing figures and tables, as well as case histories and questions, this is an enjoyable and reader-friendly book for the busy physician. With its authoritative, didactic style and short chapters, it covers the common presentations and complications of liver disease, and how to deal with them.
Given the increasing prevalence of liver disease in the UK and Worldwide, this is an ideal reference book for primary care physicians, doctors in specialist training, clinical nurse specialists and for gastroenterologists, who see patients with liver disease in their working lives.
