Liver Immunology: Principles and Practice, Second
Edition begins with important information about the
epidemiology and mortality of liver disease worldwide. This
information is followed by chapters related to basic immunology,
application of liver immunology for diagnosis, and several
excellent chapters that provide a solid foundation for
understanding immune-mediated liver disease, including those
associated with the biliary tree. A chapter on non-hepatic
manifestations of immune mediated liver disease helps provide
context for how these diseases affect the patient overall.Â
In addition, chapters discuss various discrete
immunologically-mediated infectious liver disorders including those
related to bacteria, parasites, and all of the classic viruses.
Chapters on the traditional autoimmune liver diseases --
 primary biliary cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, primary
sclerosing cholangitis as well as overlap syndrome – are also
included. The breadth of this comprehensive second edition is
highlighted by chapters on alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease, and drug-induced liver disease, among others.
 This invaluable new edition ends with a forward-looking view
of future directions and how the field might meet the challenge of
refractory patients. Â Developed by a renowned group of
authors, Liver Immunology: Principles and Practice, Second
Edition will again serve as a comprehensive textbook by
providing an excellent overview for this rapidly evolving field. It
greatly adds to the understanding of the pathogenesis of these
diseases, while also providing novel insights that can be harnessed
into helping improve the care of patients afflicted with various
immune-mediated diseases. Â This volume will again be a
must-read for clinicians at all levels, investigators and students.
