Some Chapter Topics Include: - Should living donor liver transplantation be considered in adult acute liver failure?- Should hepatitis C be treated in patients with chronic kidney disease prior to kidney transplant?- Resect or observe asymptomatic hepatic adenoma?- Strictly adhere to the "6-month rule" for recent history of alcohol abuse in potential liver transplant candidates?- Autoimmune hepatitis: maintenance therapy for all patients or stop treatment after histologic remission?With concise clinical information to reinforce the point-counterpoint text, Controversies in Hepatology: The Experts Analyze Both Sides will become the go-to resource for teaching and perfecting the important skills required to weigh the evidence and arrive at an outcome.
