The name Schiff is synonymous with hepatology. Leon Schiff co-founded the AASLD in 1950 and was the main editor of this iconic book for the first 7 editions. Following Leon Schiff`s death, his son Gene Schiff has taken on the lead editor role, and this 11th edition will be the 4th under his guidance. As a result, Schiff`s Diseases of the Liver has been widely accepted as the number 1 clinical hepatology reference book for over 50 years. With its strength being its strong clinical focus on hepatology, it covers anatomy, pathology, testing, imaging, and effects of liver disease on other organs, before moving on to sections that address specific diseases and clinical syndromes. Sections begin with a clear overview and chapters with a key concepts section that helps the reader quickly assimilate the most noteworthy information. Its enormous appeal has been due clarity of text, combined with a sheer thoroughness in its breadth of content. Key features include: * 4-colour throughout * Section overviews begin each of the sections * Key Concepts outlines start chapters * Treatment guidelines and management algorithms for every disease * A full liver transplant section The 11th edition will see all chapters fully revised and refreshed with the latest in clinical information, once again providing the most up to date textbook for the clinician. 50% of the contributors chosen will be new names, adding a fresh approach to each chapter.
