“It is one of the most practical and versatile texts available focused on the clinical practice of hepatology. Although some have argued that we are now being educated via electronic means more than ever, this text provides the reader with a classic textbook, and it should be considered to be an essential component of all updated hepatology libraries.”  (Gastroenterology, 1 August 2013)

“This is a well-written update that justifies replacing the previous edition. I know I will consult my copy on a frequent basis -- an unusual event in this era of online material, although this edition does include access to an online version with many additional resources.”  (Doody’s, 19 October 2012)
