Beskrivning

Knowledge about the cell biology of the cholangiocytes and the function of the bile ducts has increased considerably. Their role in liver diseases is increasingly recognized. As a consequence, important progress has been made not only in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology but also in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary liver diseases. This book, the proceedings of the Falk Symposium 107 on "Diseases of the Liver and the Bile Ducts, New Aspects and Clinical Implications", held in Prague, Czech Republic, on 30 April - 2 May, 1998, brings together scientists and clinicians to highlight advances in molecular biology, physiology, diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the biliary system. World experts cover a broad spectrum of topics from genetic tests to endoscopy and from medical treatment to liver transplantation.
