Description

For thirty years, this text has been the standard bench side guide to liver biopsy diagnosis. This is the book which pathologists and clinical hepatologists turn to when confronted with a diagnostic problem in evaluating and interpreting liver biopsy specimens. Written by two internationally recognised authorities, the book covers the full range of liver disorders. Copious technical tips and diagnostic pearls reflect the extensive experience and wisdom of the two authors. Throughout the text histopathologic features are correlated with clinical features to provide a practical account of how pathology impacts the diagnosis and management of liver disease.
