  abstract: Cirrhosis: a practical guide to management providesgastroenterologists and hepatologists with an up-to-date clinicalguide presenting the very best evidence-based practice in thediagnosis, treatment and management of liver cirrhosis and its manycomplications. Designed to offer practical guidance at alltimes, it provides doctors with an extremely useful tool in theclinical setting, with each chapter featuring diagnostic/managementalgorithms, key points and other pedagogic features. Divided into 2 parts, a diagnosis and pathophysiology section and amanagement of complications section, key topics.
