Tran; Care of the Cirrhotic Patient by Priya Grewal and Paul Martin -- Often the hepatologist sees patients in consultation, and this issue focuses on how to deal with diagnosing, treating, and managing patients in the hospital on a consultation basis. The Guest Editor has assembled top experts to present articles on the asymptomatic outpatient with abnormal LFTs, surgery in the patient with liver disease, issues in long-term care of liver transplant recipients, management of autoimmune cholestatic liver disease, and current status of hepatitis vaccination and prophylaxis, to name a few. -- A consequence of the rapid advances in the science and practice of hepatology has been an expanding number of diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions. Although these new modalities have transformed the care of patients with liver disease, effective use of invasive, and often expensive, diagnostics is crucial. In this issue of Clinics in Liver Disease, a group of distinguished hepatologists provide insight into the assessment of a variety of scenarios where clinical judgment based on experience and published literature is an invaluable addition to the care of individual patients. Assessment of hepatic dysfunction varies according to clinical circumstance - from the asymptotic outpatient, to the patient with severe medical illness. Hepatic masses are frequently discovered during abdominal imaging, often for unrelated complaints, and require appropriate evaluation. Preoperative clearance for surgery of a patient with underlying liver disease is important to assess perioperative risk and likelihood of postoperative hepatic decompensation. Increasing incidence and expanding treatment options for hepatocellular carcinoma has made management of this tumor a prominent part of current hepatology practice. The increasing prominence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is addressed by Drs. Rafiq and Younossi. Although alcoholic liver disease continues to be a major challenge, there is renewed interest in its medical management, as well as appropriate indications for liver transplantation in abstinent patients. Dr MacClain and colleagues address an issue of increasing concern, namely hepatotoxicity due to not only therapeutic agents but also herbal compounds. Newer immunosuppressants and other advances in the management of autoimmune and cholestatic liver diseases are reviewed by Drs. Krok and Munoz. An update on hepatitis vaccination is provided by Drs. Nguyen and Tran; whilst another paper discusses the important role of the gastroenterologist and hepatologists in caring for the cirrhotic patient who may ultimately be bound for liver transplant.
