Liver Function

Over the past decade there has been steady progress in interdisciplinary research and development involving the application of measurement, control, computing and systems science techniques to physiology and medicine. Each volume in the 'Measurement in Medicine' series aims to present the reader with a systematic view of measurement in a particular field of physiology, and of its relationship to the processes of diagnosis, decision making and patient management. This volume is devoted to the topic of liver function. Its collection of essays discusses such topics as a systems approach to the diagnosis and management of liver diseases, drugs and their pharmacokinetics, and dynamic metabolic function.
