Description
The anticipated encore volume of the Biomedical Research Reports Series, Hepatitis C is the first book
that offers comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of this "silent epidemic." The subject matter ranges from basic science to clinical
medicine, with contributions from more than 30 international experts in the field. This important new book details the hepatitis C virus
and the disease that it causes, including its prevalence, means of spread, symptoms, complications, natural history, prevention, and
therapy.
The editors, T. Jake Liang, M.D., and Jay H. Hoofnagle, M.D., are both hepatologists and clinical and laboratory researchers
who are well known leaders in the hepatitis field. Their team of authors provide the latest information on key issues such as the role
of hepatitis C in liver cancer and evolving therapy for hepatitis C, including special subgroups of patients such as children, patients
with renal failure, patients undergoing liver transplantation, and patients with HIV coinfection. The book also addresses future directions
in antiviral therapy of hepatitis C and the real challenges of developing a vaccine. Hepatitis C is the integrated
reference book for all researchers, clinicians, and students dealing with this troubling virus.
