22nd Annual Highlights of Recent Scientific Liver
Meetings:Impact on Clinical Practice
https://northwestern.cloud-cme.com/default.aspx?P=0&EID=76928

New information on the diagnosis and management of patients with
liver disease is being gathered at an accelerating rate. It is
difficult for the busy practitioner to separate the novel but
unproven idea from information that has a direct impact on daily
practice. The hepatitis C epidemic is an example of such
conflicting demands, with the physician called to address the
immediate needs of patient care while extensive new information is
being constantly generated.
This educational program is focused toward healthcare
professionals involved in the care of patients with liver disease.
In a six-hour session, important information presented at the
recent meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver
Diseases will be reviewed. Ten areas of clinical hepatology will be
covered and potential changes in patient management will be
discussed. We are honored to welcome guest speaker, Kimberly Brown,
MD, Professor of Medicine at Wayne State University, Chief of
Gastroenterology and Hepatology and Associate Medical Director of
the Henry Ford Transplant Institute, at Henry Ford Hospital, to
join us in Chicago on Saturday, November 23.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
After attending this educational activity, participants should
be able to:
1) Review the common causes of cirrhosis, including hepatitis B,
hepatitis C and alcoholic liver disease.2) Evaluate current
management for hepatocellular carcinoma.3) Recognize the spectrum
of acute hepatic failure and the need for liver transplantation vs.
medical therapy alone.4) Discuss the current state of liver
transplantation, including the role of new immunosuppressives and
the place of living donor transplantation.
