Abstract Summary
More children with chronic liver diseases are surviving into adulthood, requiring adult physicians to understand conditions like autoimmune hepatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, and cholestatic disorders. Many patients have undergone transplants and need lifelong immunosuppression. Comprehensive care must address extra-hepatic complications, metabolic issues, and mental health for optimal outcomes.
Why Brain? ๐ง
Rare pediatric liver diseases now reach adulthood due to improved survival. Adult physicians need expertise in autoimmune and genetic cholestatic conditions to manage complications and transitions.
