Numerous liver disorders in the pediatric population, including conditions like cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, serve as precursors to chronic hepatopathies that persist into adulthood. Inherited hepatitis conditions, such as chronic hepatitis C, autoimmune hepatitis, and genetic disorders like hemochromatosis or cystic fibrosis, are among the diverse array of inherited hepatic disorders frequently encountered in the pediatric realm.
