Alcohol Abuse and Liver Disease
Book (italiano):
<p>For alcoholics with liver disease, successful management must be two-fold: management of both their psychological/physical addiction to alcohol and their liver disease. Whereas in the past these two issues were approached by the hepatologist (managing the liver disease) and psychiatrist (managing the addiction/substance abuse) largely independently of the other, the modern way is a much closer collaboration between the two, the result being a more coherent, multi-disciplinary and better overall standard of care for the patient.</p><p><i>Alcohol Abuse and liver disease</i>, with its joint focus on hepatology and psychiatry, will provide gastroenterologists/hepatologists and psychiatrists of all levels with a practical, concise and didactic guide to the investigation and clinical management of those with alcohol-related problems.</p><p>Edited by a practicing hepatologist in the UK and a practising specialist in psychiatry/substance abuse in the US, it will cover areas such as:</p><ul><li>Risk factors for alcoholic liver disease </li><li>Interaction of alcohol with other co-morbidities </li><li>Clinical assessment of alcohol intake </li><li>Detoxification and management of withdrawal </li><li>Psychotherapeutic and pharmaceutical interventions </li><li>Treatment of liver disease </li></ul><p>Key points, management diagrams and high-quality images will all be supported by the very latest in clinical guidelines from the major hepatology/psychiatry societies such as the APA, EPA, AASLD and EASL.</p><p>With increasing emphasis on multi-disciplinary speciality care in this area, this is the ideal tool to consult in order to provide the best care possible for what are very challenging patients to manage.</p>
