OVERVIEW

Hepatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, and pancreas. Common conditions treated in hepatology include hepatitis (viral, alcoholic, and autoimmune), fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. Hepatologists employ a range of diagnostic tools such as blood tests, imaging studies, and liver biopsies to assess liver health and develop treatment plans. Management often involves lifestyle changes, medications, and in severe cases, surgical interventions like liver transplantation.

How it works

  1. Answer Some Questions: Patients start by providing detailed information about their symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors. This helps the medical team understand potential liver-related issues.

  2. Connect with a Clinician: The patient consults with a hepatologist who conducts a comprehensive evaluation. This may include physical examinations, blood tests (like liver function tests), and imaging studies (such as ultrasounds, CT scans, or MRIs).

  3. Get a Treatment Plan and Medication: Based on the diagnosis, the hepatologist develops a personalized treatment plan. This could involve medications to manage liver conditions, dietary and lifestyle recommendations, and monitoring for potential complications. In severe cases, procedures such as liver biopsies or liver transplantation may be considered.

  4. Follow Up for 14 Days: Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor the patient’s progress. The hepatologist adjusts the treatment plan as needed and ensures that the patient adheres to prescribed medications and lifestyle changes for optimal liver health.
