	abstract = {<p>The management of children with chronic liver disease (CLD) mandates a multidisciplinary approach. CLDs can be classified into {\textquoteright}potentially{\textquoteright} curable, treatable non-curable, and end-stage diseases. Goals pertaining to the management of CLDs can be divided into prevention or minimization of progressive liver damage in curable CLD by treating the primary cause; prevention or control of complications in treatable CLD; and prediction of the outcome in end-stage CLD in order to deliver definitive therapy by surgical procedures, including liver transplantation. Curative, specific therapies aimed at the primary causes of CLDs are, if possible, best considered by a pediatric hepatologist. Medical management of CLDs in children will be reviewed in two parts, with part I (this article) specifically focusing on {\textquoteright}potentially{\textquoteright} curable CLDs.</p>
