Core Tip	The Serbian validation of the chronic liver disease questionnaire (CLDQ) confirmed the 6-domain structure of the original United States version. However, in our investigation the original structure was only partially reproduced. The most prominent changes are related to the fact that the factors "Activity" and "Abdominal symptoms" could not be replicated, and two new domains "Sleep" and "Nutrition" were established Moreover, the domain "Nutrition" has been introduced for the first time. Our results of factors analysis gave the evidence that at list some items from the original version of CLDQ should be allocated or eliminated from the questionnaire because of the multiple loadings.
