Develop a basic understanding of liver disease in this accessible, beautifully illustrated introduction to an increasingly important specialty

Hepatology is the field of research and medicine which deals with diseases of the liver. As liver problems are encountered with increasing frequency in the medical profession, accessible information for medical staff and allied health care professionals is essential to support patient care. Hepatology at a Glance meets this need with a highly readable volume designed to bridge the gap between introductory gastroenterology textbooks and materials for hepatology specialists. It covers essential areas such as the development, structure, and function of the liver, transplantation, common liver disorders, and much more. Now fully updated for its second edition, it is a must-own for medical practitioners looking for a working reference on a vital category of medical conditions.

Readers of the second edition of Hepatology at a Glance will also find: - Updates in most chapters, incorporating new research and best practices
- Six entirely new chapters covering subjects like adolescent care, radiology in liver disease, endo-hepatology, and more
- An international authorial team

Hepatology at a Glance is ideal for those working within British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines and has been expanded for an American audience.
