A COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS AT EVERY STAGE OF LIVER TRANSPLANTATION

The newly revised Second Edition of Liver Transplantation: Clinical Assessment and Management delivers expert clinical guidance on best practices in managing the care of liver transplant patients. Each author is a leader in their field and together they cover a world-wide perspective, addressing all critical areas of each stage of the liver transplant journey, from assessment, to management on the list, to long-term care.

Readers will learn when to refer a patient for liver transplantation, how to assess a potential liver transplant recipient, procedural principles and the long-term management of the transplant recipient. Liver Transplantation provides the entire hepatology and surgical team with the information required for a sound understanding of the entire procedure, from pre- to post-operative care and management.

Clinically oriented and management-focused, the book is far more accessible than the liver transplant sections in traditional hepatology textbooks, offering:

  • A thorough discussion of when to refer a patient for liver transplantation, including general considerations and the use and potential misuse of prognostic models
  • An exploration of the selection, assessment, and management of patients on the transplant list, including how to manage patients with chronic liver disease
  • An examination of liver transplantation for acute liver failure (ALF), including assessment and management of ALF patients on the transplant waiting list
  • A discussion of care of the liver transplant recipient after the procedure in the short and long term

    • Designed for gastroenterologists, hepatologists, surgeons and other health care professionals managing patients with liver disease who are awaiting, undergoing or recovering from transplantation, Liver Transplantation: Clinical Assessment and Management is a practical and authoritative guide to all aspects of this complex and vital procedure.
