Editorial Review:
There has been very little written on the interaction of the liver and kidney. This book addresses the increasing incidence and significance of diseases, such as ascites, renal dysfunction, cirrhosis and hypertension where both organs are involved. This textbook is essential, even for confirmed practitioners and contains current information regarding treatment and therapy for patients with cirrhosis and ascites, clearly and effectively presented by the top international experts within this field. The second edition is entirely revised and updated and places greater emphasis on therapy.
There are a number of diseases, such as ascites, renal dysfunction, cirrhosis and hypertension where both the liver and the kidney are involved. In addition, both organs are very important in regulating extracellular fluid volume, and how they work together or don't work together can affect circulation and the heart. There has been very little written in the literature on the interaction of the two organs. This book addresses that problem. The first edition of Ascites and Renal Dysfunction in Liver Disease was published in January 1999 and received extremely positive reviews:'There is no doubt that this textbook is essential, even for confirmed practitioners' Acta Gastro-enterologica Belgica'Current information regarding treatment and therapy for patients with cirrhosis and ascites is clearly and effectively presented by the top international experts within this field' Scandinavian Journal of GastroenterologyThe second edition is entirely revised and updated and the contents place greater emphasis on therapy.
