The premier clinical hepatology reference for 50 years, Schiff's Diseases of the Liver is in its Tenth Edition--now in full color throughout. This edition features a major new transplant section focusing on pre-transplant and post-transplant evaluation and management. Also included are updates on key topics such as hepatitis, NASH, and drug-induced pathologies. The first third of the book covers anatomy, pathology, testing, imaging, and effects of liver disease on other organs. Subsequent sections address specific diseases and clinical syndromes. Each of the 12 sections begins with an overview, and each chapter starts with an outline of key concepts. Numerous clinical algorithms appear throughout the text.show more
