Multidisciplinary Management of Extrahepatic Organ Failures in Patients with Advanced Liver Disease
Patients in advanced stages of liver failure can experience a range of extrahepatic complications and organ failures as their cirrhosis decompensates. Chief among these is kidney failure, which confers significantly increased risk of mortality to patients who are awaiting liver transplant. Gastroenterologist, nephrologist, and critical care professionals work together to manage these patients using all the tools in the toolbox to keep patient’s organ systems functioning optimally through transplant.
Maintaining organ function, especially kidney function, can lead to better outcomes post-transplant. In these activities, we will review current guidelines and discuss expert practice strategies for these patients as a multidisciplinary team.
