Description

Speakers provide an in-depth description of symptoms experienced by persons with cirrhosis, many of which have dramatic effects on quality of life. Geared toward a clinician audience, presenters review pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to symptom management, evidence supporting specific treatment models, and practical advice that incorporates caregivers. Two case review sessions incorporate concepts presented in the lectures.
