There has been very little written on the interaction of the liver and kidney. This book addresses the increasing incidence and significance of diseases, such as ascites, renal dysfunction, cirrhosis and hypertension where both organs are involved.
This textbook is essential, even for confirmed practitioners and contains current information regarding treatment and therapy for patients with cirrhosis and ascites, clearly and effectively presented by the top international experts within this field.
The second edition is entirely revised and updated and places greater emphasis on therapy.
"As a specialist with a strong interest in the topics covered in this book, I consider it to be the best available book in the field. I also strongly recommend it as the ultimate manual for any physician who is interested in guidance in mastering the art and science of diagnosis and management of ascites and renal dysfunction in cirrhosis." NEJM - Nathan M Bass, MD, PhD
"This book is a great resource for researchers and clinicians interested in this topic" Heliobacter -Bhupinderjit S Anand, MD
"This is a very useful text that will be helpful to clinicians caring for patients with liver disease. Anyone in the field of internal medicine, gastroenterology, hepatology, and nephrology who decides to buy this book can be sure of having done the right thing." Digestive and Liver Disease -M. Lazzaroni
