Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Chronic liver illness, such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis, continues to be an important area of concern in internal medicine. Internists assess liver function, track disease progression, and manage the care of hepatology experts.

Management measures involve pharmacotherapy, lifestyle modification, and early identification of complications like portal hypertension and hepatic encephalopathy. Dietary education, alcohol restriction, and compliance with medications are important aspects of management.

Advanced cases need to be referred for liver transplantation, where internists assist in pre- and post-operative care. By combining preventive and therapeutic measures, internal medicine helps provide the best possible results for patients with chronic liver disease.
