The liver in disease: with special reference to aspiration liver biopsy

This thesis commences with a detailed description of the technique and difficulties arising in its application. Then follows a comparison of the results of certain commonly employed biochemical methods used in the study of liver diseases with the histological appearance of the liver. The liver in acute hepatitis and obstructive jaundice is described in some detail, and next come reports of various cases in which the method has been applied either diagnostically or for the general study of the disease process. The thesis concludes with some possible applications of the method to the assessment of drug toxicity and the efficacy of therapeutic agents.
