Offering a unique, comprehensive overview of common and uncommon liver diseases found in the tropics and resource-constrained regions, Treatment and Management of Tropical Liver Disease provides practical information and insights on both diagnosis and treatment. It offers valuable details on acute and chronic viral and parasitic hepatic infections, bacterial and fungal infections, liver masses, autoimmune diseases, and other liver-related maladies typically found in the tropics. An expert global author team covers making a diagnosis with imaging techniques most likely found in specific regions, offers guidance on managing patients in areas with limited resources once a diagnosis has been established, and discusses how to manage patients with chronic liver disease with a focus on cost-effectiveness and quality of life.
