Dedication
In 1978, my son and I began with the planning and preparation of a joint textbook on hepatology. In 1997, one year before completion of this work, Hans-Dieter died of a malignant disease. It was his wish that I should realize our mutual aim. I have dedicated the German edition of the book “Praktische Hepatologie” (1998) to: my unforgettable son Hans-Dieter whose knowledge and manual skill I have always admired, whose critical as well as creative ideas for our joint book were so valuable, who did not live to see the completion of this work as a co-author dedicated in love and gratitude
