A volume in the popular Pattern Recognition Series, Practical Hepatic Pathology: A Diagnostic Approach features completely updated and reorganized content, resulting in a truly practical guide to understanding liver pathology. Dr. Romil Saxena presents interpretation of liver biopsies according to a pattern-based approach that begins with recognition of the predominant histological pattern of injury, followed by identification of secondary features and appropriate work-up that lead you away from pitfalls to the best diagnosis.

Unique "visual index" at the beginning of the book references the exact chapter and specific page needed for in-depth diagnostic guidance
Superb, high-quality, full-color images illustrate pathognomonic features and common variations
Features comprehensive information on major adult and childhood liver diseases, hepatic neoplasms and pre-neoplastic nodules, including clinical features, laboratory tests, imaging findings and differential diagnosis
Coverage of the clinical aspects of liver transplantation allows you to understand the pathology and practice of this procedure
