Liver Disease: Chronic and Acute Management

Chronic and acute liver diseases, including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and acute liver failure, continue to pose global health challenges. This track will explore contemporary diagnostic tools, therapeutic strategies, and patient management approaches for both chronic and acute presentations. Topics include early detection of liver injury, monitoring disease progression, and optimizing pharmacological interventions to prevent complications such as hepatic encephalopathy, portal hypertension, and variceal bleeding. Clinical trials and real-world studies will be shared to inform evidence-based care, offering participants actionable insights to enhance patient outcomes.

The session also emphasizes integrated multidisciplinary management involving hepatologists, surgeons, nutritionists, and critical care specialists. Innovations in supportive care, including advanced monitoring, liver support devices, and regenerative therapies, will be discussed. Attendees will gain insight into emerging therapies targeting specific liver pathologies, as well as strategies for patient stratification and personalized treatment planning. By presenting and engaging in this track, participants can contribute to advancing liver disease research while improving clinical practice standards globally.
