David D. Douglas

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Basic history taking and physical examination skills help the clinician to direct the very complex diagnostic array of technology available to diagnose liver disease. The clinician needs to be attentive to changes in areas other than the abdomen that may be affected by liver disease in order to better evaluate the ongoing disease process.
