About Course

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of major chronic liver diseases. Through expert-led video lectures, you will explore conditions such as metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), alcohol-related hepatitis, viral hepatitis (HBV, HCV and HDV), and hepatocellular carcinoma, with an emphasis on comorbidities and both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic approaches.

 

In this course, you will:

 

  • Understand the key pathophysiological mechanisms driving chronic liver diseases
  • Learn current strategies for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of chronic liver diseases
  • Review available treatment options, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, when available
