Approach to Consultations for Patients with Liver DiseaseSteven L. Flamm, MD, Guest Editor

Inpatient and outpatient consultation for patients with liver disease is commonly encountered in clinical gastroenterology practice. Many issues are complicated and infrequently seen. Some of the disease states have potential life-threatening consequences, causing anxiety for the practitioner. Further, there have been diagnostic and therapeutic advances for many of the problems, making the gastroenterologist somewhat uncomfortable when consultation is sought. This issue of Clinics in Liver Disease is entitled "Approach to Consultations to Patients with Liver Disease" and is intended to provide a framework for dealing with many of the vexing issues that face the clinical gastroenterologist on a daily basis. The articles are not exhaustive literature reviews: rather, they are clinical discussions that guide the practitioner on how to handle common consultations.
