Diseases of the Liver and Bile Ducts

Abstract

This chapter describes several specific genetic disorders affecting the liver that are important for the primary care physician because the disease can be diagnosed when a parent or other close relative is found to have it or the disease is treatable and poses clinical challenges throughout the patient’s life. These diseases include cystic fibrosis, galactosemia, glycogen storage disease (Types I, III, VI, and IX), and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. Other important inheritable liver disorders are discussed in separate chapters.
