Review quotes

"Highly Commended," Pathology Category, British Medical Association 2012 Medical Book Competition

"In its previous five editions, this book has had tremendous influence on the practice of hepatopathology and has been THE authoritative textbook in the field. As has been true since its creation by Sir Roddy MacSween, this sixth edition is both an encyclopedia of liver pathology ("If it's not in MacSween, it's not in the liver.") as well as a practical book for the daily practice of surgical liver pathology. As a practicing pathologist in a liver center, I can tell you this book is the only one that's never shelved, and it sits happily right next to my microscope ready for the next quick consultation." - Doody's Review Service 5 star rating, Maura F. O'Neil, MD (University of Kansas Medical Center)

Alastair D. Burt

Professor Alastair Burt has a long-standing interest in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. This is an important part of progressive liver disease and an essential component for the development of cirrhosis. He played a pivotal role in establishing the principal cell type involved in fibrogenesis is the hepatic stellate cell and was the first to characterise their cell kinetics in the response to injury establishing that there is not only proliferation of these cells in response to necrosis but a phenotypic modulation to myofibroblast-like cell
