Overview

Online preregistration is closed. Space is still available and attendees may register on site starting at 7:00 a.m. For questions contact the Virginia Mason CME department at (206) 341-0142.

Alcoholic liver disease represents a wide spectrum of disorders including fatty liver, alcoholic cirrhosis, and alcoholic hepatitis. The mainstay of treatment for many years has been alcohol cessation, however the pathophysiology of alcoholic liver disease, especially alcoholic hepatitis, is becoming better understood, with a clear interplay between the gut-liver axis.

The management of alcohol use disorders and alcoholic liver disease is a multidisciplinary affair involving hepatologists, primary care providers, psychiatrists, substance abuse counselors, dietitians, nurses, and others. This update on the science and treatment of alcoholic liver disease will be invaluable for all of these attendees, providing key information about resources available in the region to help coordinate and improve care for patients at multiple disease stages. Given the controversial role of liver  transplantation for acute alcoholic hepatitis, discussion with local liver transplant partners regarding appropriate candidates for liver transplant is sure to be robust.

Course aims include:

  • Provide an update on basic and translational research into the physiology of alcoholic liver disease
  • Assess potential therapeutic targets to treat alcoholic hepatitis
  • Review the role of liver transplantation for alcoholic hepatitis
  • Discuss the role of coordinated and multidisciplinary care for patients with alcoholic liver disease


Teaching methods include lecture, case presentation, panel discussions, audience response, and question-and-answer sessions with faculty.


Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  1. Describe current clinical management and therapies and highlight new potential therapeutic targets in alcoholic hepatitis based on preclinical studies
  2. Review available pharmacologic treatment for severe alcoholic hepatitis
  3. Recognize early signs and symptoms of liver decompensation
  4. Utilize effective language when talking with patients about their alcohol use
  5. Compare and contrast treatment options for patients living with an alcohol use disorder
  6. Identify malnutrition in a patient with alcoholic liver disease
  7. Describe novel biomarkers of alcohol use and their role in the evaluation of liver transplant candidates
  8. Summarize outcomes following liver transplantation in alcoholic patients and discuss factors which contribute to alcohol recidivism
  9. Review the clinical and ethical history of alcoholic cirrhosis as an indication for liver transplantation
