Based on the results of the latest congress of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), this volume makes excellent reading since it explores in detail the role of free radical reactions in liver diseases. Studies in recent years using various methods have shown that free radicals play an important role in toxic liver disorders. For this reason, the current scientific knowledge is presented in this balanced, clinical portrayal. The account refers to the many observations, experiencesand evaluations that have been made both clinically and experimentally. Two major areas discussed concern the pathophysiological changes by free radicals and the therapeutic possibilities that have come to light.
