Ascites and Renal Dysfunction In Liver Disease 2/e

도서내용

There are a number of diseases, such as ascites, renal dysfunction, cirrhosis and hypertension where both the liver and
the kidney are involved.
In addition, both organs are very important in regulating extracellular fluid volume, and how they work together or
don't work together can affect circulation and the heart.
There has been very little written in the literature on the interaction of the two organs.
This book addresses that problem.
The first edition of Ascites and Renal Dysfunction in Liver Disease was published in January 1999 and received
extremely positive reviews: 'There is no doubt that this textbook is essential, even for confirmed practitioners' Acta
Gastro-enterologica Belgica 'Current information regarding treatment and therapy for patients with cirrhosis and
ascites is clearly and effectively presented by the top international experts within this field' Scandinavian Journal
of Gastroenterology The second edition is entirely revised and updated and the contents place greater emphasis on
therapy.
