You want your child to be strong and healthy. So, if their body has trouble breaking down or filtering the food they eat, you might start to worry.

Your child’s liver and gallbladder both help the rest of their digestive system work the way that it should. Conditions like liver disease can throw everything out of whack and make your child feel awful. And all you want to do is help them feel better. The experts at Cleveland Clinic Children’s want that, too. They’ll work with you to get the right diagnosis and find the best treatment for your child. They’ll also help to manage any symptoms your child may have. And they’ll take the time to explain what’s happening at every step.
