Hepatic complications of inflammatory bowel disease are also discussed, shedding light on the potential impact of this gastrointestinal disorder on the liver. Readers will gain a better understanding of the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and liver dysfunction.
The liver in circulatory disturbances is another topic covered in this book. This section explores how circulatory disorders, such as congestive heart failure, can affect liver function. Understanding these interactions is crucial for providing optimal care to patients with both liver and circulatory issues.
The book also focuses on hepatobiliary complications in critically ill patients. Critically ill patients often face multiple health challenges, and this section dives into the complexities of liver complications in these individuals. The authors provide expert guidance on managing liver issues in critical care settings.
Endocrine diseases and the liver are explored in another section of the book. This topic is particularly relevant as hormonal imbalances can have a significant impact on liver health.

However, prolonged use of this method can lead to liver dysfunction, and this section explores the best management strategies for these patients.
Hepatic manifestations of lymphoproliferative disorders are also examined in the book. Lymphoproliferative disorders, such as lymphoma or leukemia, can involve the liver and have a significant impact on its function. Understanding the interplay between these diseases and the liver is crucial for providing appropriate care to affected individuals.
