Editorial Reviews
Review
"The book admirably covers a vast amount of hepatology...The collection of color plates in the center of the book is a highlight...Since the publication of the first edition of Liver Disease in Children, it has been one of the core textbooks of pediatric hepatology. The third edition is up-to-date and has incorporated large amounts of new information. Once again, it is the essential pediatric hepatology textbook." New England Journal of Medicine
"The chapters on cystic fibrosis, Alagille syndrome, viral hepatitis, medical and nutritional management of the infant with cholestasis and drug induced liver disease are particularly well written and easy to read...an excellent selection of color plates on a diverse number of topics...generally well illustrated throughout."
Practical Gastroenterology
"Well written and organized...The text is supplemented with well-conceived tables, figures, graphs, and, new to this edition, color plates that greatly facilitate understanding of the information presented. As with its previous iterations, the third edition of Liver Disease in Children builds on a strong scientific foundation and effectively bridges pathophysiologic principles with clinical practice, providing authoritative updated reviews on all topics relevant to the discipline. The textbook is the premier reference in the field and should be truly enjoyed by primary care practitioners, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, and anyone genuinely interested in the care of children with liver disease."

5.0 out of 5 stars
great liver text,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Liver Disease in Children (Hardcover)
Great liver text. This was recommended to me by the director of transplant hepatology at my institution. Very readable. Extensive discussions of epidemiology/etiology and heavily referenced throughout, perhaps too much so at points, describing theories that came and went and why, which aren't very clinically relevant (i.e. chapter on neonatal jaundice has 598 references, viral hepatitis has 606 references!!). Still, from a clinical standpoint there is great discussion of progression of lab values with disease progression or expected changes with treatment, varied presentations with different ages, therapeutic options, and so on. Nice color plates and images throughout. Probably a must-own for a peds GI fellow.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Board Study,
By Patioman (West Roxbury, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Liver Disease in Children (Hardcover)
I purchased this book to help prepare for the Pedi GI Boards. It served as an excellent secondary resource for reviewing details of pediatric liver diseases. The color plates were particularly useful to review pathology.The book was listed as "new" but arrived from Amazon.com with a dent in the side of the book which damaged many of the pages. I did not have time to return, so used as is. I would have given it 5 stars had it not been for the damage.
