Liver Conditions in Crohn's and Colitis

Did you know that around 30% of people living with Crohn’s and colitis will have abnormal liver tests and 5% will develop chronic liver disease that can be life-threatening? Watch this webinar recording to find out what you should know about liver complications in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), get your questions answered by experts in the field, and hear from someone with lived experience. Crohn’s and Colitis Canada has partnered up with the Canadian Liver Foundation to raise awareness about the relationship between liver disease and IBD. You will have the opportunity to learn more about the liver conditions that people living with IBD are at risk of developing, including primary sclerosing cholangitis, liver fibrosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Our panel of experts will talk about individual risk factors, the signs and symptoms linked to these conditions, testing and diagnosis, symptom management strategies, treatment options, and the latest research findings on these conditions. Speakers: Dr. Giada Sebastiani is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at McGill University. Her research focuses on fatty liver disease (NAFLD), liver fibrosis, and non-invasive diagnostic tools in liver disease. Dr. Tianyan Chen is an Associate Professor in the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Division at McGill University.
