Hepatologists and Liver Specialists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and disorders related to the liver, as well as associated organs such as the gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas.

A hepatologist is often a gastroenterologist with advanced training focused specifically on liver-related conditions. Numerous liver illnesses are treated by these experts, such as:

Hepatitis (A, B, C, D, E)
Fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH)
Liver cirrhosis
Liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma)
Autoimmune and metabolic liver disorders
Alcohol-related liver disease
Liver failure and transplantation

Liver specialists are trained to perform and interpret specialized diagnostic procedures such as liver function tests, ultrasounds, FibroScan, liver biopsy, and endoscopic procedures like ERCP. They work closely with surgeons, radiologists, and transplant teams to provide holistic care for patients with both acute and chronic liver conditions.

Hepatology and Types of Liver Disease:

Hepatologists are experts in treating diseases of the pancreas, gallbladder, liver, and biliary tree. If you are experiencing issues with your liver, gallbladder, or pancreas, you should consult a hepatologist, sometimes referred to as a liver specialist. Your whole medical history, including any past prescription medication use, will be questioned by the liver specialists. Your chosen way of life and any additional health issues you may be experiencing. As they assess your problem, prescribe a medication, and make a diagnosis, your health will be tracked. They will also provide you advice, update you on the progress of your illness, discuss your future prospects, and assist you in managing it.
