RESUMO
Liver diseases in the elderly often reflect an age-associated decrease in the capacity to respond to metabolic and infectious insults. Because the geriatric population is growing rapidly, physicians can expect to encounter an increasing number of older patients with liver disease. In this article, the authors discuss the clinical manifestations of the most common liver diseases seen in the geriatric population.
