Hepatology: Clinical Cases Uncovered

One third of world population has been infected with Hepatitis B virus at some point in their life and up to 80% of liver cancers can be attributed to either the hepatitis B or Hepatitis C virus. Recognizing that hepatology is an important topic within the clinical curriculum and that students are expected to recognize, understand and know how to investigate and manage many related disorders and conditions, Hepatology: Critical Cases Uncovered leads students through the clinical approach to managing problems with real-life patient cases and outcomes.

Kathryn Nash is a Consultant Hepatologist at Southampton General Hospital
