Pediatric Gastroenterology & Hepatology

Pediatric gastroenterology and hepatology addresses the unique gastrointestinal and liver health challenges of neonates, children, and adolescents. This session focuses on congenital, metabolic, and acquired disorders, including biliary atresia, pediatric IBD, liver enzyme abnormalities, and genetic liver diseases. Advances in diagnostics, including non-invasive imaging, genetic testing, and biomarker identification, will be presented to improve early detection and intervention. The track also explores therapeutic strategies ranging from dietary interventions and pharmacological management to surgical procedures and liver transplantation in pediatric populations.

Additionally, this session emphasizes multidisciplinary care and long-term follow-up, addressing growth, nutrition, psychosocial health, and developmental outcomes. Case studies, clinical trials, and translational research will highlight innovative approaches to pediatric care, including stem cell therapies, immunomodulatory agents, and precision medicine applications. Participants will gain insights into optimizing management strategies for pediatric patients, advancing research in this specialized field, and improving clinical outcomes. The session encourages submissions of novel research, case reports, and innovative treatment strategies in pediatric gastroenterology and hepatology.
