This detailed work deals with the whole range of hepatobiliary diseases, their prevalence in the general population, the factors that cause them, and diagnostic techniques and treatment. Hepatitis C and E, the molecular biology of the liver and magnetic resonance imaging are also covered.
Liver diseases are very prevalent in the general population, and knowledge of their causes, mechanisms, diagnostic techniques and treatment has expanded in recent years. This has created a need for a detailed account of modern hepatology, which this book is designed to meet. It covers the spectrum of hepatobiliary diseases, includes original chapters on molecular biology of the liver, and deals in detail with new areas such as hepatitis C and E and magnetic resonance imaging. The balanced basic and clinical approach that has been adopted, is intended to ensure that the book will be of value to both students and senior clinicians.
