Clinical Dilemmas in Viral Liver Disease-2판

Description

The only evidence-based book to approach viral liver disease by focusing exclusively on the clinical dilemmas
encountered by hepatologists and their medical teams

Although viral hepatitis is a growing public health risk around the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) views
the elimination of hepatitis infection over the next several as an achievable goal. Effective pharmaceutical therapies
are now available, yet medical teams caring for patients with viral hepatitis are challenged when looking for answers
to specific questions in the current medical literature. The second edition of Clinical Dilemmas in Viral Liver
Disease provides evidence-based guidance for medical teams involved in diagnosing, treating, and managing patients
with viral liver disease.

This fully updated book explores developments in new treatments and new diagnostic approaches that are contributing
to WHO goals of viral elimination. Brief, easily referenced chapters examine clearly defined topics, addressing
the clinical questions and difficulties encountered by medical teams in day-to-day practice. Contributions by an
international team of investigators and clinicians address clinical questions and issues which are seldom found in
standard textbooks and online repositories. Offering practical guidance on the specific challenges and dilemmas of
treating viral liver disease,
