This book is the proceedings of the Falk Symposium No. 137 on
"Liver Diseases: Advances in Treatment and Prevention" (part of the
XII International Falk Liver Week 2003 in honour of Hans Poppera
(TM)s 100th birthday, held on October 17-19, 2003). It covers our
present knowledge of the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of
liver diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and delta
hepatitis as well as alcoholic liver diseases, non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis and the hereditary liver diseases haemochromatosis,
Wilsona (TM)s disease and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency. In
addition to these clinical entities, the sequelae of liver
cirrhosis and its complications, including the clinical management
of ascites, the hepatorenal as well as the hepato- and
porto-pulmonary hypertension syndrome are discussed. New
developments with respect to liver support systems and liver
transplantation are further highlights of the proceedings.
The main topics mentioned above are complemented by
state-of-the-art chapters on "Hepatocellular Carcinoma," "Emerging
Hepatitis Viruses" and "Fulminant Liver Failure" that are of
interest to both basic scientists as well as clinicians. A special
section is devoted to "Liver Histology" as a tribute to Hans Popper
who contributed eminently to the basic and clinical aspects of
hepatology.
All in all, Liver Diseases: Advances in Treatment and Prevention
provides an exciting overview of the current developments in the
treatment and prevention of viral, alcoholic, non-alcoholic and
hereditary liver diseases, presented by an international faculty of
outstanding scientists and clinicians.
