Reviews
“The authors should be commended for their meticulous literature search and the efforts made to include the latest information on hepatology. … this lucid and readable book provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on a subject that deserves greater attention from clinicians. Both students and practitioners of hepatology and hepatobiliary surgery would find this book useful.” (Shaleen Agarwal, The National Medical Journal of India, Vol. 28 (5), September-October, 2016)
