Drugs and the Liver by Penny North-Lewis
Enables the practitioner to assess liver function using biochemical markers, other tests, signs, symptoms and disease knowledge. This practical guide covers background information on liver function, the principles of drug use in liver disease and includes a section of worked examples of commonly asked questions.'For those pharmacists involved in medication reviews, interpretation of liver function test results is an essential part of the processThis book provides an excellent explanation of each parameter and the limitations of using the results alone when assessing the degree of liver function.'
Jackie Smith, a pharmaceutical advisor, Chemist and Druggist, October 2008
'This book combines all pertinent issues relating to liver dysfunction and medication use in one reference. The authors and contributors have done an excellent job to make the book a practical tool that can be used by clinicians when making therapeutic choices rather than merely presenting pharmacokinetic principles and expected alterations in liver disease.'
Sharya Vaughan Bourdet, PharmD BCPS, The Annals of Pharmacotherapy Vol. 42, July/August 2008
'The book is written primarily for pharmacist clinicians, but it serves as a useful review for anyone who has an interest in drug metabolism and liver function...the thorough but easy to understand review of the liver anatomy and function is a highlight. This is a good read for those who need to brush up on these topics.'
