Rezensionen

"Tabulated lists of investigations and clear flow diagrams of step-wise approaches to management make the information highly accessible and easily digestible. ... a unique book that would appeal to clinicians working within the sphere of child health.It also bridges the gap between pathological diagnosis and clinical issues for the interested histopathologist reporting paediatric liver specimens. It makes a welcome addition to our trainee room library." (Sophie Stenton, The Bulletin of The Royal College of Pathologists, Issue 186, April, 2019)

"This atlas is intended for a broad audience, covering bread and butter topics in pediatric liver disease ... . The diversity of visual aids works effectively to prevent learner fatigue. ... this book gives color to pediatric liver disease, making learning a more vibrant and enjoyable experience." (Joseph Runde, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2018)
