Dr. Mitchell Shiffman has designed this unique reference, which offers expert advice, preferences, and opinions on tough clinical questions commonly associated with the liver. The unique Q&A format provides quick access to current information related to the liver with the simplicity of a conversation between two colleagues.

Curbside Consultation of the Liver: 49 Clinical Questions provides information basic enough for residents while also incorporating expert advice that even high-volume clinicians will appreciate. Gastroenterologists, fellows, residents in training, and medical students will benefit from the user-friendly and casual format and the expert advice contained within. Some of the questions that are answered: How often should I follow a patient who had chronic hepatitis C after they achieved a sustained virologic response? Should I stop the HIV medications in a patient who has developed an elevation in serum liver transaminases? What should I tell my patient who is a carrier for alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency? Which patients with fatty liver disease on an ultrasound examination require a liver biopsy? Which patients with chronic liver disease should I screen for hepatocellular carcinoma? How much ascites is safe to remove at any time?
