This book examines the biological aspects of bile acid analysis and their clinical applications, providing readers with an overview of cutting-edge discussions on Bile Acid research and diseases. It begins with detailed discussions on the biological aspects of bile acid, with chapters examining bile acid from various perspectives, from its metabolism to its use in therapeutic agents. Subsequent chapters focus on diseases involving bile acid abnormalities, and specific applications are addressed concerning gallstones, cholestatic liver disease, NAFLD/NASH, hepatitis, pancreatitis, esophageal cancer and colon cancer. In keeping with the book’s integrated approach, the Editor has gathered a broad range of eminent scholars and practitioners to provide a comprehensive review of modern bile acid research. The book offers clinical physicians, basic researchers and postgraduate students essential insights into cutting-edge research and paves the way for further research.
This volume is intended to cover advances of hepatology in Japan. Topics covered include the molecular structure and pathophysiological roles of intercellular junctions in the liver, and the molecular pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatitis B virus infection.

Hardbound. Progress in Hepatology 4 - Liver Cirrhosis Update includes the basic and clinical research on liver cirrhosis and its treatment as presented in the 4th Tadao Takahashi Memorial Forum held in Tokyo, Japan in 1997.Liver cirrhosis is the final outcome of virtually all chronic liver diseases. The etiology differs markedly from country to country. For example, in Japan (and probably most countries of East and Southeast Asia) hepatitis B and C are the most common causes while in western countries it is alcohol. In this volume the focus is almost exclusively on those cases due to HBV and/or HCV. Articles are presented on molecular pathology; classification from a pathological perspective; imaging diagnosis; endoscopic treatment and progress in bioartificial liver support among others. The mechanism of hepatocyte injury differs between virus- and alcohol-induced chronic liver diseases. These differences produce pathological, functio
Hardbound. This volume of Progress in Hepatology includes the most recent progress in basic and clinical researchers on interferon therapy for chronic hepatitis C. These works were presented at a meeting held in Tokyo on November 25, 1995, in memory of Tadao Takahashi, MD, who was one of the founders and the first general director of the Japan Society of Hepatology.Further volumes focusing on different subjects in hepatology will be published in the future. The series will continue to focus on the progression of both basic and clinical studies in hepatology, and will help introduce Japanese studies to the rest of the world.
