Abstract

Purpose of review: This review summarizes publications in pediatric hepatobiliary disease from the past year. These studies contribute to the understanding of the epidemiology, histopathology, predictors of outcome and treatment of some important pediatric liver and biliary disorders.

Recent findings: Advances in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, neonatal hemochromatosis, acute liver failure (from the Pediatric Acute Liver Failure Study Group), and liver transplantation are summarized.

Summary: Continued investigation into these hepatobiliary disorders has the potential to significantly impact the health of children.
