Atlas of Basic Liver Histology for Practicing Clinicians and Pathologists

The book provides a visual run-through of liver pathology through high-quality images from the healthy liver through acute liver injury to chronic liver disease - stressing on common mechanisms for specific histological appearances, correlating them with clinical features and laboratory investigations to reach the diagnosis. The book provides a visual run-through of liver pathology through high-quality images from the healthy liver through acute liver injury to chronic liver disease - stressing on common mechanisms for specific histological appearances, correlating them with clinical features and laboratory investigations to reach the diagnosis. Individual chapters in this richly illustrated atlas cover the wide gamut of liver disease, including types of liver injury, viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease and its complications, vascular and autoimmune liver diseases, pediatric liver diseases, liver tumors, and finally, pathology of the transplanted liver. This book bridges the gap by integrating basic clinical information with histopathological findings, as existing books cater primarily to the pathologist’s needs and do not provide sufficient clinical background to engage the clinician. It serves as a quick guide for adult and pediatric hepatologists, liver surgery doctors, pathologists as well as trainees in gastroenterology, hepatology, gastrointestinal surgery, liver transplantation and pediatric gastroenterology.
