Summary:

This book explains liver transplantation for hepatologists and gastroenterologists. Many hepatologists and gastroenterologists are reluctant to check on their patients after liver transplantations. They immediately call the transplant programs to transfer these patients, sometimes with problems easily manageable by local care systems. This, in part, is because of the fear of doing something wrong, unfamiliarity, and lack of knowledge about post-transplant management of these patients. With better knowledge about technical aspects of liver transplantation, it would be easier for hepatologists and gastroenterologists to acknowledge potential complications in earlier stages and react properly for better care of their patients. This book breaks down liver transplantation into three parts: the pre-transplant period, the transplant process, and post-transplant care, to best equip hepatologists and gastroenterologists with the information they need to be more familiar withliver transplantation. Liver Transplantation: What every Hepatologist and Gastroenterologist Needs to Know offers a comprehensive review of liver transplantation for hepatologists, gastroenterologists, fellows, and residents in the field of gastroenterology, hepatology, and internal medicine. .
