Diabetes mellitus can lead to metabolic changes that alter normal hepatic and biliary function and structure. These alterations in hepatic and biliary function and structure are usually benign, but in certain situations lead to significant, disabling disease. This article reviews the hepatic and biliary complications of diabetes, with emphasis on epidemiology, diagnosis, and management, as well as the glucose intolerance seen in liver disease.
