Viral hepatitis is an extremely complex disease to treat. The medical team involved in the care of patients with viral hepatitis will be faced on a daily basis with clinical challenges.The answers to specific questions will not be easily located in the current medical literature: if they are there, they may only be found after extensive searching or the compilation of information from numerous sources. This book provides evidence-based guidance on topical clinical questions and difficulties/dilemmas encountered by the medical team involvedin the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with viral liver disease. The medical team includes the hepatologist/pediatric hepatologist, pathologist, radiologist, transplant surgeon and nurse specialist. The book will be of particular interest to trainees and fellows in hepatology. This will not be a comprehensive text addressing all aspects of viral liver disease (such as Thomas, Zuckerman & Lemon's Viral Hepatitis, 3e). Instead it will present specific and clearly defined topics, selected either because they are of interest inthemselves, recent developments or areas of controversy. This will be the third title in the Clinical Dilemmas series, after Clinical Dilemmas in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and the forthcoming Clinical Dilemmas in Diabetes.Graham R Foster PhD FRCP, Professor of Hepatology Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry, Institute of Cell & Molecular Science, The Royal London Hospital, UK.
