Drugs and the liver: a guide to drug handling in liver dysfunction

Liver disease is a widespread and increasing problem throughout the world, however little is published on how different types and degrees of liver dysfunction affect the body's ability to handle medicines. This book aims to enable the practitioner to assess liver function using biochemical markers, other tests, signs, symptoms and disease knowledge. The book also allows the reader to identify which pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of a drug likely to be affected by different types of liver disease, as well as to consider the impact of a drug's side effects on a patient with liver disease.
