Description

The authors explore the history of man's thoughts about hepatic structure, function, and disorders, both chronologically and thematically. The first two chapters present the anatomy and physiology of the liver as explained through the ages. Subsequent chapters deal with hepatic function and disorders and therapies used to treat liver disease. The text is enhanced by chronological tables, extensive notes, and a bibliographic essay.
