Proposed classification of CFLD.

  1. CF related liver disease with cirrhosis/portal hypertension (based on clinical exam/imaging, histology, laparoscopy)

  2. Liver involvement without cirrhosis/portal hypertension consisting of at least one of the following:
    1. Persistent AST, ALT, GGT >2 times upper limit of normal
    2. Intermittent elevations of the above laboratory values
    3. Steatosis (histologic determination)
    4. Fibrosis (histologic determination)
    5. Cholangiopathy (based on ultrasound, MRI, CT, ERCP)
    6. Ultrasound abnormalities not consistent with cirrhosis
  3. Preclinical: No evidence of liver disease on exam, imaging or laboratory values
