Review
The authors of the chapters are well-established authorities in hepatology who bring diverse expertise to the work, including substantial experience in pathology, infectious disease, diagnostic methodologies and therapy. The result is a book that, despite its complexity , is easy to read and understand.
The nice figures, tables and charts allow a quick and easy interpretation of the concepts it offers to readers. I especially appreciated how easy it was to find the different items of information I need in my everyday activity as a hepatologist.
A large number of books are available in hepatology. This one is an easy-to-use, ready reference not only for hepatologists but also for gastroenterologists, internists and family physicians who see patients with hepatic complaints.
