Sherlock's Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System, 13th Edition, is a clinical textbook addressing the evaluation and management of hepatobiliary disorders. Rather than focusing extensively on basic science mechanisms, the text concentrates on practical clinical decisions and relevant supporting evidence.
The volume addresses core liver and biliary diseases, acute hepatic failure, and the complications of cirrhosis. It also explores clinical management across diverse settings, such as hepatic conditions during pregnancy and childhood.
The textbook is designed as an introductory primer for students and trainees in hepatology and gastroenterology. It also serves as a reference resource for practicing gastroenterologists, hepatologists, pediatricians, pathologists, radiologists, general physicians, and specialist nurses.
