Fatty liver disease

Sinopse

There is a dearth of assembled information about NASH: such information is sought by physicians of various backgrounds, and detailed information is required by gastroenterologist, hepatologists, general physicians, diabetologists, nutritionalists and pathologists. Information on the diagnosis, management and understanding of this disease is only available in recent reviews - it is not covered in standard texts and there is no specific book available on the subject so far. This book combines a practical approach for students and physicians concerned with the problem with a clear overview on the causative mechanisms. It should appeal to doctors and other health care workers who encounter this problem, as well as to pathologists and investigators interested in the field of liver disease.
