Liver Immunology

Liver Immunology: Principles and Practice, 3rd Edition, is a reference work that examines the immune functions of the liver and their roles in hepatic disease pathogenesis. The text addresses how the liver produces products that stimulate innate and adaptive immune responses to initiate, mediate, regulate, and resolve systemic inflammation.

Coverage introduces fundamental immunological concepts, detailing the definition of autoimmunity and its distinct expression within the tolerogenic liver. It also explores biological drivers of liver pathology, including genetics, epigenetics, and conditions such as Hepatitis C.

Additional discussions address liver disease across specialized groups, including pediatric patients and organ transplant recipients. The work is designed to assist clinicians, investigators, and students in advancing evidence-based patient care.
