Liver disorders in children will affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs that are metabolized in the liver. Chronic liver disease in children such as chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver can affect the absorption and disposition (pharmacokinetics) of drugs and the efficacy and safety (pharmacodynamics) of drugs in the body. Dosage modification is determined based on clinical studies examining the effects of impaired liver function on the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a drug.
