Sherlock’s Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System 13th Edition (Reprint 2024)

Sherlock’s Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System 13th Edition – Reprint 2024

Sherlock’s Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System, Thirteenth Edition, edited by James S. Dooley, Anna S. F. Lok, Guadalupe Garcia-Tsao and Massimo Pinzani, is an internationally respected clinical reference covering the complete spectrum of hepatology and biliary medicine.

Published by Wiley-Blackwell, this classic textbook maintains the clear, concise and clinically focused approach established by Professor Dame Sheila Sherlock. Rather than concentrating only on basic science, it emphasizes the decisions clinicians must make and the evidence that supports patient management.

The book begins with the structure and function of the liver and progresses through diagnostic assessment, liver biopsy, fibrosis, acute and chronic liver failure, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, viral hepatitis, metabolic and autoimmune disease, hepatobiliary malignancy and liver transplantation.

Generously illustrated with more than 700 color figures, the 13th Edition presents complex hepatobiliary disorders through accessible explanations, practical tables and clinically relevant images.
