Description: This new edition has been updated to cover the full spectrum of paediatric hepatology. Taking a problem-based approach, contributors bring their clinical and research experience to bear, providing practical advice on the underlying pathology, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, investigation, management and outcome of liver disease in children. The text is accompanied by many high-quality clinical and diagnostic images and histology plates, while a series of helpful algorithms and tables are included to summarize appropriate diagnostic and management approaches.
