Liver disease induced by drugs poses many challenging problems to all who have to deal with them. This book should help the reader to understand, diagnose, treat and ultimately prevent, hepatic drug reactions. The book brings together all that is currently known about drug-induced liver disease in a format which is explanatory as well as comprehensive. It covers all aspects, including the way in which the liver deals with foreign compounds, biochemical cell defence mechanisms and physiological functions of the liver. It should help the reader to identify the drug incriminated in drug-induced hepatobiliary disorders as well as providing a guide to differentiation between drug-induced hepatobiliary disorders and those which are not drug-induced.
