Date & Location: Saturday, October 26, 2024, 7:15 AM – 2:00 PM, Hyatt Regency Westlake, Westlake, CA
The 17th Annual UCLA Liver Diseases Symposium will provide a state-of-the-art update and scientific exchange on prevalent liver diseases and their complications using a multi-disciplinary approach with hepatologists, radiologists and surgeons.
- Diagnose and manage patients with advanced liver disease and be better able to prognosticate and risk stratify those patients for medical procedures.
- Understand the current process of evaluation, listing and organ allocation in liver transplantation.
- Identify the risks and benefits of interventional radiology (IR) procedures for the management and treatment of clinically significant portal hypertension in patients with advanced liver disease.
- Use evidence-based recommendations in the evaluation and management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
- Discuss the role of current and recently approved second line therapies in the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).
- Evaluate and properly stratify patients with metabolic dysfunctionassociated steatotic liver disease (ie, fatty liver), and develop tailored therapies to prevent disease progression.
- Review treatment options for patients with alcohol hepatitis and optimal long-term care.
- Identify the most common causes of drug induced liver injury (DILI) and learn to assess which cases are likely to resolve or progress.
- Diagnose acute liver failure, risk stratify patients, and identify those likely to recover and those likely to require a liver transplant.
