Histopathology of the Liver

This is the definitive reference work on the histopathology of disease affecting the liver. No other work provides such a detailed discussion of the subjects or such ample color illustrations of the diseases and their variations. The book consists of two volumes: text and photomicrographs. Volume I features 27 chapters detailing the techniques of liver biopsy; the production of microscopic slides; detailed discussions of the diseases of the liver; AIDS; and liver transplantation. Volume II presents more than 1100 corresponding color photomicrographs, illustrating the histologic abnormalities seen in liver disorders. These remarkable color plates are presented in a large format (4 per page), each with a detailed description of their histologic features. Expertly written and meticulously organized, this will be an invaluable sourcebook for hepatologists, gastroenterologists, and pathologists. The book provides a useful description and analysis of the cellular and tissue patterns of disease in the liver as seen through the microscope.
