9780443055461: The Liver and Systemic Disease

Synopsis

The liver is prone to the consequences of disease in other parts of the body, such as autoimmune disorders, nutritional disorders, diabetes and infection (malaria, tuberculosis, sepsis, and childhood infections). Many diseases, not primarily affecting the liver, manifest themselves as liver problems (jaundice) which really disguise a broader systemic disease. The recognition of the association between dysfunction of the liver and other systems is often overlooked, but is vital in effective treatment. This reference atlas provides text on both diagnosis and management, plus excellent visual material for the entire range of systemic diseases affecting the liver. It will help the clinician to recognise the symptoms and manage the patient before serious damage can occur.
