All are brought up-to-date in the very readable style characteristic of this standard text.
Reviews / Votes
"More than any other text in liver diseases, this one provides thebest source of synthesized clinical wisdom, a currency in everincreasingly short supply as our fund of factual knowledgeburgeons. Indeed, if one demanded that an author confine thebreadth of our knowledge in liver disease into a readable clinicaltextbook of less than 700 pages, he or she could do no better thanto direct that individual to Sherlock and Dooley's Diseases of theLiver and Biliary System". -Gastroenterology (the highestimpact journal in the field) on the 10th edition. "Sherlock and Dooley's Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System,the only text written by the two authors, remains an outstandingclinical liver guide for the generalist and specialist alike".-JAMA on the 10th edition.More details
