In-depth examinations of secondary care management of patients with unexplained abnormal liver tests are also covered, including intensive care and the care of infectious and immunosuppressed patients. The authors discuss the latest guidelines and protocols for managing these complex cases, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
Throughout the book, substantial flow diagrams and advice on the process are provided, making it easy for non-hepatologists to understand and apply the information. Take-home primers included in the book shine a light on best practice and recommended procedures when dealing with abnormal liver test results.
