Practical Liver Biopsy Interpretation: Diagnostic Algorithms (2nd edition)

Authors: Jurgen Ludwig, MD, FASCP; Kenneth P. Batts, MD, FASCP

The highly popular, Practical Liver Biopsy Interpretation, presents diagnostic algorithms to help determine likely diagnoses when encountering unexplained liver biopsy findings. Each chapter presents a defined morphologic diagnosis, and then examines the clinical diseases that should be considered.

The 2nd edition of Practical Liver Biopsy Interpretation has been improved, expanded, and extensively updated with more current terminology.

Practical Liver Biopsy Interpretation contains 130 images, now in full-color, that clearly illustrate morphologic findings.

The codes of the Systematized Nomenclature of Human and Veterinary Medicine and of the International Classification of Diseases that apply to liver biopsy have also been added. An extensive appendix lists generic drug names and their reported adverse effects on the liver.

Pathologists and clinicians will find Practical Liver Biopsy Interpretation an essential reference tool, and a valuable update to the 1st edition.
