About this book
This volume presents a concise yet comprehensive overview on all facets concerning the complications of cirrhosis. Structured in three sections, the book reviews the natural history of cirrhosis, the diagnostic and predictive tools available to assess the disease, complications, and treatment options such as liver assist devices and transplantation. Topical concerns in the management of patients with cirrhosis are also addressed, including issues pertaining to the delivery of quality care in this patient population.
Written by experts in their fields, Complications of Cirrhosis: Evaluation and Management serves as a valuable resource for practitioners and physicians-in-training on the subject of cirrhosis.
Reviews
“It is a very informative resource on cirrhosis and the associated disease process. … It is written for those in the field of gastroenterology and practitioners who encounter patients with this disease process on a daily basis. … This book will prove helpful in day-to-day practice when patients present with complicated situations related to cirrhosis. It will be of use for quick reference as well as to build an understanding of the overall disease state and management.” (Matthew M. Lute, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2016)
