Hepatology and Transplant Hepatology: A Case Based Approach - October 2010 Edition
Hepatology and Transplant Hepatology: A Case Based Approach presents a
collection of interesting cases in liver disease seen at a very busy
and large liver transplant center in the United States. These cases
cover the full range of pathology that an internist or
gastroenterologist may expect to see in a lifetime of taking care of
patients with acute or chronic liver disease, before or after liver
transplant. Each case is presented as you would see it in a clinical
situation where a patient presents a complaint or something is noted on
exam or blood work. The question/answer format will help one through the
problem of making a diagnosis or in considering a differential
diagnosis and also point to the best way to manage each condition. The
volume is divided into pre-transplant and post-transplant hepatology.
Each case is 3 pages with the first page presenting the case and
pertinent lab data and 3-4 questions (i.e. differential diagnosis, tests
to order, x-rays/CT required).The second page illustrates the tests,
scans, biopsies and asks for the pertinent findings. The third page
provides the diagnosis and what may have been expected with other
diagnoses. Here is a single source dealing with questions specific for
patients with complications of advanced liver disease and also clinical
situations seen in transplant hepatology. Hepatology and Transplant
Hepatology: A Case Based Approach will have great appeal to anyone in
hepatology/transplant hepatology and also to residents/fellows and
internists interested in gastroenterology
