[Epidemiological characteristics of familiar adult inherited metabolic liver disease].

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.遗传代谢性肝病可以在儿童、青少年、成人等多个年龄段发病。随着诊治水平的提高，越来越多幼年发病的患者可以存活至成年期。原来儿童肝病医生面临的一些疾病，也可在成人肝病门诊出现。这对成人肝病医生提出了新的挑战，要求其掌握更多的专业知识。而我国尚缺乏多数遗传代谢性肝病发病率的具体数据。现简述遗传代谢性肝病的研究发展概况，总结我国常见遗传代谢性肝病的流行病学特征。.
