Index.

"More than any other text in liver diseases, this one provides the
best source of synthesized clinical wisdom, a currency in ever
increasingly short supply as our fund of factual knowledge
burgeons. Indeed, if one demanded that an author confine the
breadth of our knowledge in liver disease into a readable clinical
textbook of less than 700 pages, he or she could do no better than
to direct that individual to Sherlock and Dooley's Diseases of the
Liver and Biliary System". -Gastroenterology (the highest
impact journal in the field) on the 10th edition.

"Sherlock and Dooley's Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System,
the only text written by the two authors, remains an outstanding
clinical liver guide for the generalist and specialist alike".
-JAMA on the 10th edition.
