This session will review common and important medical, transplant, and neoplastic liver diseases, focusing mainly on histology but incorporating clinical, serologic, radiographic, and molecular correlations.

At the end of the sessions, participants will be able to:

  • Recognize classical histopathology of major medical liver diseases, including steatohepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, autoimmune hepatitis, viral hepatitis, haemochromatosis, and alpha-one-antitrypsin deficiency.
  • Describe typical clinical, serologic, therapeutic, and, where relevant radiographic, features of common medical liver diseases.
  • Identify acute and chronic T cell-mediated liver rejection.
  • Distinguish common liver lesions and, where applicable, discuss use of ancillary special stains, immunohistochemistry, and molecular studies in their diagnosis.
