Throughout the text, histopathologic features are correlated with clinical features, molecular genetics, and immunohistochemistry to provide a practical account of how pathology impacts the diagnosis and management of liver disease. Covers key topics such as genomic alterations in liver tumours, diagnosis of acute liver allograft rejection, scoring systems for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and discussions of immunohistochemical features wherever relevant.

Reviews
"It will indeed be useful to all those who 'interpret liver biopsies', whether trainees or specialists. Uniquely for a histopathology textbook, those clinicians who care for patients with liver disease will also find it to be an accessible and user-friendly resource to be consulted as required. I will certainly be recommending this book as a 'must-buy' for our trainee library." -Dr Kathryn Griffin (Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, January 2021) "This practical guide is an excellent resource to practicing pathologists who interpret liver biopsies. The outstanding book organization allows readers to reference a particular section of the book to supplement their biopsy interpretation in real-time. Overall, this book is a great addition to the personal libraries of pathologists who interpret liver biopsies." -Julianne M Szczepanski, MD (University of Michigan Medical School) Doody's Review Score: 97-5 Stars!
