Distilling the available knowledge on ethanol-induced liver damage and directly complementing the available bio-medical literature, Ethanol and the Liver covers pathogenic and clinical aspects of alcoholic liver disease.

Coverage includes:
Histopathology-fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and cirrhosis
Ethanol metabolism and its consequences
Mechanisms in the pathogenesis of ALD, including genetics, immunology, and insulin-like growth factors
Extrahepatic effects of ALD and the role of alcohol in potentiating liver damage due to other etiologies
Interaction of alcohol with viral hepatitis
Epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment
Management strategies, including transplantation
The vast amount of knowledge and expertise gathered in this book make it an unparalleled resource.
