Key Features:
Reviews current drugs in development and provides practical advice to clinicians on the diagnosis and management of fatty liver.
Proves attractive to primary care providers who are on the front line of managing patients with NAFLD, to gastroenterologists and hepatologists who would benefit from updated data on how to risk-stratify patients and identify those who will be eligible for pharmacologic treatment, and other specialists such as cardiologists, endocrinologists, and nephrologists who will find this book to be a useful reference on the extrahepatic manifestations of NAFLD.
Focuses on extrahepatic manifestations and new insights on the mechanistic drivers of the disease.
