Gastroenterology and Liver

Geriatric Gastroenterology & Liver Disorders

Aging populations face unique gastrointestinal and liver-related challenges, necessitating specialized care approaches. This track focuses on age-related GI disorders, including motility issues, malabsorption, and functional GI syndromes, as well as liver conditions such as cirrhosis, NAFLD, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The session will explore diagnostic innovations, including non-invasive imaging, biomarker monitoring, and risk stratification models tailored for older adults. Evidence-based management strategies, including pharmacological, nutritional, and procedural interventions, will be highlighted to optimize patient outcomes.

Furthermore, this track addresses the complexities of polypharmacy, comorbidities, and frailty in geriatric patients, emphasizing the importance of individualized treatment plans. Participants will engage with clinical case studies, research findings, and guidelines designed to improve care delivery and quality of life. Preventive strategies, patient-centered approaches, and multidisciplinary collaboration will be discussed, ensuring comprehensive management of elderly patients with gastrointestinal and liver disorders. This session encourages research submissions focusing on innovative approaches, clinical trials, and outcomes in the geriatric population.
