A new, fully updated edition of the world's most famous book on
liver diseases--with updating of all areas and inclusion of new
specific topics, by internationally renowned specialists This brand
new edition of the classic book on hepatology provides a concise,
clearly presented and well-structured review across the whole
spectrum of hepatobiliary diseases by some of the world's leading
hepatologists and hepatobiliary specialists. Where many other
hepatology textbooks provide detailed accounts of basic science and
clinical management, Sherlock's Diseases of the Liver and Biliary
System, 13th Edition takes a different approach. Concentrating on
the clinical decisions to be taken and the relevant supporting
data, it is written and edited to maintain Sheila Sherlock's unique
approach, in particular the clarity and layout of the text, and the
explanatory figures and tables. The book is thus concise, highly
accessible, and generously illustrated with over 700 attractive
color figures. There is a pithy approach to each disease based both
on evidence and on the authors' experience, the hallmark of this
book. Based on these elements, the 12th edition was awarded first
prize in the 2012 British Medical Association Book Awards in the
Internal Medicine category. Sherlock's Diseases of the Liver and
Biliary System begins by introducing the anatomy and function of
the liver to readers, continuing then with in-depth coverage of
liver biopsy techniques and interpretation, and fibrogenesis and
its assessment. There are then chapters on all aspects of liver and
biliary disease including acute liver failure, cirrhosis, portal
hypertension, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, hepatitis B and C,
alcohol and the liver, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, drug
related liver reactions, cholestatic, autoimmune and genetic liver
diseases, benign and malignant tumours and not least liver
transplantation. There are also chapters on the liver in pregnancy,
in the neonate, infancy and childhood, in systemic diseases and in
infections. This new edition also features four new individual
chapters focusing on coagulation, non-invasive assessment of
fibrosis and cirrhosis; vascular diseases of the liver and portal
vein thrombosis, and nutrition in liver disease. Digital downloads
of the figures from this edition are offered on a companion
website. Internationally recognized and loved, world-renowned
hepatology book, first published in 1955 Takes a one-of-a-kind,
clinical approach maintaining Sheila Sherlock's clarity and legacy
of presentation Full colour throughout with 700 illustrative
figures Wide faculty of international contributors Sherlock's
Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System, 13th Edition is an ideal
