This volume, the proceedings of Falk Symposium 115 held in  Basel, Switzerland, October 22-24, 1999 (Part II of the Basel Liver  Week 1999; XI International Congress of Liver Diseases) covers our  present knowledge of the aetiologies and early stages of liver  cirrhosis development. Based on this information, strategies are  discussed that are aimed at the prevention, early diagnosis and  therapy of chronic liver diseases, thus preventing their progression  to cirrhosis and its complications, including HCC development. \u003cbr\u003e  The main topics mentioned above are complemented by three  state-of-the-art chapters on modern aspects of medicine in general and  hepatology in particular as well as their perspectives beyond the year  2000: `Molecular Medicine', `New Hepatitis Viruses' and `Genetic Liver  Diseases: Diagnosis and Therapy'. \u003cbr\u003e  Introductory chapters focusing on the more basic aspects of the  biology of live cells as well as on the mechanisms underlying  fibrogenesis, cholestasis and inflammation will be followed by a  detailed discussion of the clinically most important causes of liver  cirrhosis worldwide: hepatitis viruses B, C and D; toxins (alcohol,  drugs and others) as well as metabolic liver diseases  (haemochromatosis, Wilson disease, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency,  porphyria cutanea tarda and protoporphyria). \u003cbr\u003e  This book, therefore, will interest clinically oriented basic  scientists as well as those in clinical practice, givng an update on  many aspects of modern hepatology and its perspectives in the next  millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792387602\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 356\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541623206028,"sku":"9780792387602","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792387602.jpg?v=1771517819","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792387602","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
