商品簡介
The layout of this comprehensive reference for practitioners features color and b&w diagnostic images, anatomical illustrations, diagnosis and treatment algorithms, and detailed process diagrams. Sections cover pathophysiology of pediatric liver disease, cholestatic liver disease, hepatitis and immune disorders, and metabolic liver disease. The final section deals with other considerations and issues in pediatric hepatology, such as post-transplant care. This fourth edition takes into account advances in the understanding of liver development, the molecular physiology of the liver, and molecular virology over the past seven years, as well as advances in diagnosis and treatment over the past seven years, especially as the result of genome studies. To keep the book to a manageable size, chapter references have been limited to classical sources and the most relevant current citations. Annotation c2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
