Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases, such as viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and liver cancer, has been subject to considerable progress. However, diagnostic and treatment methods are still inadequate, and liver diseases represent a major cause of death. Further progress in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases is needed in order to reduce the number of deaths from liver diseases. We believe that further research on liver diseases will lead to new insights on this fascinating topic. It has recently been reported that sarcopenia, gut–liver axis, and blood coagulation are related to the pathophysiology of liver diseases, which may also prove useful for the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases.
This Special Issue, titled "Recent Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Disease", welcomes a wide range of papers on basic research, clinical research, and review articles. We look forward to receiving high-quality papers from pertinent researchers.
