Biopsy Interpretation of the Liver is a practical source of
information to understand the diseases of the liver, with
particular emphasis on the histopathology of those diseases. The
book offers clear guidelines for the pathologist to recognize and
diagnose a full spectrum of liver disorders. It progresses from the
basics--including technical considerations, liver anatomy, and
examination methods--then provides essential guidelines for
recognizing and assessing specific hepatic conditions. In the
completely updated Second Edition, the authors updated the content
on transplantation pathology and provided new chapters on
immunopathology and molecular pathology of liver diseases. A
companion online image bank will provide over 700 full-colour
images of common and rare entities, plus a test bank that is ideal
for board exam preparation.
