Learning objectives
After attending this symposium, learners will be able to:
- Discuss the mechanism of action of ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT) inhibitors and their proposed effects on cholestatic liver disease and metabolic disease.
- Describe the pathophysiological features of cholestatic liver diseases, as well as clinical outcomes associated with these conditions.
- Describe the pathophysiological features of metabolic liver diseases, as well as clinical outcomes associated with these conditions.
- Recall clinical trial data regarding the efficacy and safety of IBAT inhibitors in the treatment of cholestatic liver disease, including biliary atresia and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC).
