 great liver text January 4, 2010
bokonoko (US)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great liver text. This was recommended to me by the director of transplant hepatology at my institution. Very readable. Extensive discussions of epidemiology/etiology and heavily referenced throughout, perhaps too much so at points, describing theories that came and went and why, which aren't very clinically relevant (i.e. chapter on neonatal jaundice has 598 references, viral hepatitis has 606 references!!). Still, from a clinical standpoint there is great discussion of progression of lab values with disease progression or expected changes with treatment, varied presentations with different ages, therapeutic options, and so on. Nice color plates and images throughout. Probably a must-own for a peds GI fellow.
 Board Study November 3, 2008
Patioman (West Roxbury, MA United States)
I purchased this book to help prepare for the Pedi GI Boards. It served as an excellent secondary resource for reviewing details of pediatric liver diseases. The color plates were particularly useful to review pathology.
The book was listed as "new" but arrived from Amazon.com with a dent in the side of the book which damaged many of the pages. I did not have time to return, so used as is. I would have given it 5 stars had it not been for the damage.
