Liver Transplantation: Challenging Controversies and Topics (Clinical Gastroenterology)
The field of liver transplantation is young, evolving, dynamic, and
issues and decisions are often controversial, thus a text with a
different focus is required, one that highlights controversy and
challenges dogma. In Liver Transplantation: Challenging Controversies
and Topics a useful set of chapters have been created that will take the reader
step-by-step through key areas of controversy in the field of liver
transplantation. The authors have tried to anticipate questions, define
key issues, and provide options for resolving or approaching areas of
uncertainty. The topics covered in this book impact our understanding
and management of immunosuppressant, viral hepatitis, nonalcoholic fatty
liver disease, organ allocation, regional differences in rates of
transplantation, and hepatocellular cancer. All authors are actively
practicing physicians and surgeons who deal with all the issues
presented on an ongoing and daily basis. Throughout the book, emphasis
is put on the need for thoughtful well-controlled clinical and basic
research of transplant hepatology and liver transplantation. There is
also speculation on potential breakthroughs in immunology, virology,
cell biology, surgery and medicine that might influence or impact the
future directions of these fields of medicine. Liver Transplantation:
Challenging Controversies and Topics is an important new book meant to
stimulate interest, identify topics requiring additional study, and to
promote discourse among transplant professionals
