  • Description

Diseases of the Liver and Biliary System in Children is the market-leading reference book onpaediatric liver disease.  Authored by the world’s leading hepatologists and pediatricians and expertly edited by Deirdre Kelly, it comprehensively covers the entire topic from pathology to diagnosis and clinical management, and in all stages of childhood from the unborn baby through to infancy, and from childhood to the transition into adolescence. 

The 4th edition will contain an impressive 12 new chapters in addition to a full revision of all existing chapters with the very latest developments in pediatric hepatology.   Strong focus is on how liver disease in children is managed by the multi-disciplinary team, and with increasing numbers of young people surviving into adult life, the importance of managing adolescent transition effectively.  As always, leading society guidelines from EASL, AASLD and ESPGHAN will be referred to throughout.

Hepatologists, pediatricians and gastroenterologists of all levels will find this an essential tool to consult time and time again.

Rationale

All of the major publishers publish a reference book on pediatric Hepatology and this is our flagship one.  Liver disease is on the rise in children and as a result this is increasingly becoming a key sub-specialty within Hepatology.  Deirdre Kelly is a key Wiley contact both in journals and books – and a former president of ESPGHAN.  Although the 3e performed modestly in terms of sales, this is explained by the poor timing of publication (3e commissioned too close to publication of 2e resulting in a lack of genuine new material between editions 2 and 3).  This has now been addressed with a more sensible timeline.  Overall sales should be stronger than before and as a result, a new edition is justified.
