Abstract
Clinically significant liver and biliary disorders occur in approximately 5 percent of persons with inflammatory bowel disease. The most common hepatobiliary disorders encountered in patients with inflammatory bowel disease are fatty liver, sclerosing cholangitis and gallstones. In addition, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, biliary cancer and amyloidosis sometimes occur. Family physicians should be alert for these gastrointestinal problems in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
