In this article, we discuss common liver diseases in the adolescent population. We describe the initial evaluation of an adolescent presenting with new-onset liver enzyme abnormalities, based on the clinical history and physical examination. The management approach to the adolescent with liver disease is exemplified, including monitoring for adherence, risk-taking behaviours and focusing on psychosocial aspects of their care. Finally, we highlight the challenges of caring for the adolescent patient and the importance of addressing not only the liver disease but, more importantly, the holistic approach towards their management.
