Liver disease, also termed as hepatic disease, is a condition of the liver characterized by weight loss and jaundice, among many others. Some of the common liver diseases are hepatitis, fascioliasis, alcoholic liver disease, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, liver cancer, etc. Genetic diseases such as hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, Gilbert's syndrome, etc. can lead to liver damage. Various liver function tests that test for serum albumin, serum globulin, aspartate transaminase, etc. are used for the detection of liver diseases. Imaging techniques of ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and transient elastography are used for the examination of liver tissue and bile ducts. Hepatitis infections are treated using anti-viral medications. Other medications such as steroid-based drugs, ursodeoxycholic acid, etc. target specific symptoms and conditions of the liver and strive to slow down the progression of the disease. This book contains some path-breaking studies in liver diseases. The aim of this book is to present researches that have advanced the frontiers in the clinical management of liver diseases. It is a complete source of knowledge on the present status of this important field.
