Managing Patients with Liver Disease and Hepatic Failure Course is organized by Physicians Insurance - A Mutual Company.
Origination: Apr 2022
Expiration: Dec 2025
Description:
Approximately 30 million Americans have some form of hepatic failure. There are 11,886 people in the U.S. on the transplant list waiting for a new liver (Health Resources & Services Administration, 2021). Hepatic failure is rated as one of the leading causes of death, yet we know much less about this condition compared to other chronic diseases. Clinicians should be familiar with signs of liver failure and related conditions, risk factors for the disease, and treatment strategies. The purpose of this course is to educate healthcare professionals on the causes, complications, and characteristics of hepatic failure to better manage and care for this patient population.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify causes, symptoms, and complications of liver disease and hepatic failure.
• Identify diagnostic, monitoring, evidence-based treatment, and management strategies for persons with liver disease.
• Recognize symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hepatitis A, B, and C.
