A Hepatology Specialist Can Help You Maintain the Long-Term Health of Your Liver
To avoid long-term damage, you should visit a Hepatology Specialist in the event of any of the following situations. Typically, you will be referred to a specialist by your GP, but you can also book an appointment yourself if you are concerned with, or have been diagnosed with:
- A drug overdose (paracetamol is common)
- Gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension
- An abnormal blood test that indicates liver disease
- Exposure to Jaundice or Hepatitis virus
- Swelling of the abdomen (ascites), often caused by liver disease or heart failure
- Advanced liver disease
- Follow-up care after a liver transplant
- Pancreatitis
- Systematic diseases that affect the liver and other related organs, such as haemochromatosis
Our hepatologists have dedicated their professional careers to studying and understanding how the liver works and how it reacts to different diseases. They will provide you the treatment necessary to safeguard the long-term health of your liver. In many cases, this will also involve lifestyle adjustments, which your consulting hepatologist will also advise on.
