Summary
Endohepatology integrates interventional endoscopy and hepatology for chronic liver disease. This review covers endoscopic ultrasound and retrograde cholangiopancreatography applications in liver transplant patients.
Area of Science:
- Hepatology
- Interventional Endoscopy
- Transplantation Medicine
Background:
- Chronic liver disease management requires integrated approaches.
- Endohepatology combines interventional endoscopy and hepatology.
- This field has evolved over the past 15 years.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review diagnostic and therapeutic applications of endoscopic procedures.
- Focus on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
- Evaluate their use in liver transplantation candidates and recipients.
Main Methods:
- Review of diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
- Focus on EUS and ERCP.
- Application in liver transplant context.
Main Results:
- EUS and ERCP offer significant diagnostic capabilities.
- These endoscopic techniques provide therapeutic interventions.
- Their utility is demonstrated in liver transplant recipients and candidates.
Conclusions:
- Endohepatology is crucial for managing complex liver disease.
- EUS and ERCP are vital tools in liver transplantation.
- These endoscopic methods enhance patient care in hepatology.
