Controversies in Hepatology: The Experts Analyze Both Sides is based on the principle of an academic debate. Dr. Donald Jensen is joined by 50 colleagues who present evidence-based arguments for and against 17 key controversial areas in hepatology. Each point-counterpoint is then followed up by a summarization of key points by a leading expert in that topic area.

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.
