There are numerous types of liver disease that may be due to toxic
agents (such as alcohol or drugs), infectious agents including
viruses, congenital conditions and even poor dietary patterns. It
has been suggested that there are over 100 different types.
As the consequences of liver failure can be devastating it is
important that appropriate diagnosis and monitoring is carried out.
Much of this characterisation entails the use of biological
indicators, i.e biomarkers.

Biomarkers in Liver Disease
embraces a holistic approach by combining detailed information on
different conditions that affect the liver and the use of
biomarkers. Biomarkers are described in terms of conventional, new
and emerging analytes, techniques, platforms and applications. It
covers the latest knowledge, trends and innovations. New platforms
are described which combine advances in biomedical sciences,
physics, computing and chemistry.
