About this course

The second of our Hepatology Masterclasses, this course covers the remaining presentations in the large topic of Hepatology. The Hepatology Masterclass Two reaches into the hepatic conditions that are more serious and require careful investigation and planning. Your same presenters from Hepatology One return with their deep expertise and a thorough discussion of an increasingly problematic issue.

With the global epidemics of obesity and diabetes and also our increasingly toxic world, our livers are under more stress than ever. Rates of fatty liver, cirrhosis and fibrosis are increasing. Most of your patients will have a pre-existing or imminent liver pathology. Having a robust understanding of the mechanisms of these severe and common pathologies will be highly valuable to many of your patients.

Lyn Patrick dives deep on the assessment of care of advanced liver disease, cirrhosis, fibrosis and NASH and TASH. She also covers the specific topic of toxicant induced liver damage.

Robert Gish has two sessions. He discusses the workup required for accurate assessment of advanced liver disease and also covers the fascinating issue of the effects of COVID on liver function and the liver diseases.

SIBO is an interesting driver and also consequence of liver dysfunction and Mona Morstein does a great job discussing these interactions and her action plan for resolving this tricky situation.
