Diagnosis and Management of Hepatological Diseases

Description

Hepatology is the branch of medicine that incorporates the study of liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, and pancreas as well as management of their disorders. This book focuses on the clinical assessment and management of patients, and it covers all of the major areas of liver disease, from liver cirrhosis to viral hepatitis. It will be especially useful for GI internists and residents with a special interest in hepatology. It gives easy-to-understand clinical information on each aspect of hepatology. To improve accessibility for residents, chapters will employ a combination of structural elements including color-coded boxes. Key points/takeaways, case histories, practise points, and management algorithms/flowcharts are among them. This book will be a cost-effective, highly practical hepatology guide designed towards gastrointestinal residents/trainees, GI nurses, and newly certified consultants to use as a rapid reference when managing patients with probable or overt liver disease.
