Abstract:
Inherited metabolic liver diseases can occur in multi-age groups such as children, adolescents, adults, and others. With the improvement of diagnosis and treatment levels, more and more patients with childhood-onset diseases are surviving into adulthood. Some diseases originally faced by pediatric hepatologists also appear in adult hepatology clinics. This raises new challenges for adult hepatologists, requiring them to master more professional knowledge. However, specific data on the incidence rate of most inherited metabolic liver diseases is still lacking in our country. This article reviews the research progress of hereditary metabolic liver diseases and summarizes the epidemiological characteristics of familiar hereditary metabolic liver diseases in China.
