This book provides a fresh and innovative look at the broad spectrum of modern hepatology, including established practices and new techniques, in a clinically focused format. It is split into 4 main sections, the first describes the structure and function of the normal liver. The second deals with the full range of clinical entities that denote liver disease. The third section presents a series of chapters on specific hepatic diseases, including up-to-date coverage on viral hepatitis and HIV infection.
