Every major hepatic disease is thoroughly addressed, along with guidance as to the most efficient and effective ways to treat them. Dr. Willis Maddrey, along with 24 leading hepatologists, has interwoven concepts from fields such as molecular biology with the results of clinical observations and trials in order to facilitate efficient, accurate diagnosis and the use of effective therapy.
