From Evidence to Practice: New Guidelines on Hepatitis Delta, Pediatric Liver Transplantation, Primary Biliary Cholangitis, and Pruritus
Description
Join this timely session that presents major new clinical guidelines and expert consensus documents that are shaping contemporary hepatology practice. Faculty highlight the recently released American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD)/American Gastroenterological Association guidelines for the diagnosis and management of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) as well as 2 new AASLD pediatric liver transplantation guidelines addressing candidate evaluation and posttransplant management of pediatric recipients. An AASLD Expert Practice Opinion (EXPO) is also reviewed, focusing on the diagnosis and management of pruritus in patients with genetic cholestatic syndromes. Together, these documents reflect evolving standards of care across the lifespan and across rare cholestatic conditions. Presenters emphasize practical application, key updates, and areas of clinical nuance to support evidence-based decision-making in everyday practice.
