Suitable for internists and further learning specialists, this book presents an overview of the standard of research in hepatology. It provides basic information about morphology and pathophysiology and serves as a reference for various diseases.

The increasing frequency of surgery on steatotic and cirrhotic liver obliges liver surgeons and hepatologists to understand the molecular mechanisms at play in these situations and how they can be influenced. This title focuses on signaling pathways which are particularly important in liver diseases.

Presents articles that deals with therapies for treatment of HCV. This title addresses such novel therapies as interferons, viral kinetics and anti-viral resistance, anti-fibrotics, immunotherapeutics, hepatoprotectants and caspace inhibitors, and cyclosporine analogues.

Deals with the topic of nutrition and liver disease. This title provides a holistic understanding of the causative elements that precipitate liver disease, the nutritional factors and regimens that reverse deteriorating hepatic function, and the nutritional elements found in a wide range of liver diseases.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a chronic disease of the intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts leading to obstructions and dilatations followed by liver cirrhosis and in some cases cholangiocarcinoma. This book is the proceedings of the Falk Workshop held on October 3, 1997, in Freiburg, Germany (Part II of the Liver Week Freiburg 1997).

A Textbook of Hepatobiliary Diseases. .

Cholestatic disorders of infancy and adulthood represent a major group of causes of end-stage chronic liver disease. Since secondary malnutrition plays an important role in inducing multiorgan morbidity in these patients, nutritional and metabolic aspects need better understanding. This book is suitable to various hepatologists and paediatricians.

Molecular diagnosis and gene therapy are of importance in clinical medicine. This book presents an understanding of the methodology of molecular diagnosis by hybridization analysis, polymerase chain reaction and others. It also offers basic strategies of gene therapy, including gene transfer and targeting.

Helps you understand the differences of chronic liver disease between the sexes. This book offers information to design care of health and liver disease more effectively for individuals, both females and males.

A teaching class in the range of problems in hepatology, from unusual aspects of common diagnoses through to rarer diseases. Hepatologists at any level of their career will find this informative and stimulating reading.

The first exclusive guide to acute liver failure aetiology, pathology and treatment.

Enables the practitioner to assess liver function using biochemical markers, other tests, signs, symptoms and disease knowledge. This practical guide covers background information on liver function, the principles of drug use in liver disease and includes a section of worked examples of commonly asked questions.

An in-depth look at the effects of alcohol and liver pathologies in general this book will be of interest to both scientists and clinicians involoved in systemic toxicology.

Gives information on the significant liver diseases. This text covers aspects relating to Hepatology. It includes colour illustrations, informative colour tables and references. It is useful for clinical reference for the Gastroenterologist, the Gastroenterologist in training, the Internist and even the Medical Student.

The histological features of what we call non-alcoholic steatohepatitis were described as early as 1962 by the Honorary President of the Symposium, Professor Herbert Thaler, from Vienna. This book is the proceedings of the Falk Symposium number 121 on 'Steatohepatitis (NASH and ASH)', held in Den Haag, The Netherlands, on October 14-15, 2000.

An essential resource for the day-to-day management of patients with liver disease and its complications.

Designed as reference material to increase knowledge of the human body. Beautiful full-colour illustrations help enhance understanding of the body or illness. Suitable for healthcare professions, patients, students, educators and parents.

Rapid advances on molecular studies, manipulation of the mouse genome, the development of a number of animal models, and using these in studies of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have provided important insights into the pathogenesis of this relatively common disorder.

Containing a selection of teaching tools for general anatomy and pathology, this work, with flip charts, offers an overview and understanding of the subject matter. It is useful for student or patient education. It is suitable for the home, the school library, or the physicians office and can be written on by a dry marker.
