Liver Transplant & Hepatology
Understanding Hepatology & Liver Transplant
Hepatology is the branch of medicine that deals with liver, gallbladder, and biliary tract disorders. The liver performs essential functions such as detoxifying blood, producing proteins, aiding digestion, and regulating metabolism. When liver function deteriorates severely, it can lead to life-threatening complications.
Common liver conditions include cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, hepatitis B & C, liver failure, liver cancers, and metabolic liver disorders.
Symptoms may appear as jaundice, abdominal swelling, chronic fatigue, nausea, unexplained weight loss, or confusion.
In advanced liver disease where the liver can no longer function properly, a Liver Transplant becomes the most effective and life-saving treatment option. This procedure replaces a damaged liver with a healthy one from a living or deceased donor.
Prevention and Care
Liver health depends on lifestyle choices such as balanced diet, limited alcohol intake, regular exercise, vaccination for hepatitis, and avoiding self-medication. Monitoring liver enzymes and undergoing routine checkups helps in early diagnosis.
For patients with cirrhosis or chronic liver disease, timely evaluation, medication adherence, and regular follow-ups with a hepatologist are essential. Early intervention can prevent complications, and for severe liver damage, transplant assessment is crucial for long-term survival.
Liver Disease
Understanding Liver Disorders & Failure
The liver plays a vital role in filtering toxins, regulating nutrients, supporting immunity, and producing enzymes. Any severe disruption in its function can lead to chronic illness or acute failure.
Common liver conditions include:
1. Cirrhosis
Progressive scarring of liver tissue that affects normal functioning.
2. Hepatitis (A, B, C)
Inflammation of the liver caused by viral infections, leading to liver damage.
3. Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD/NASH)
Accumulation of fat in the liver due to lifestyle or metabolic issues.
4. Liver Cancer
Abnormal growth of cancerous cells originating in the liver.
5. Acute Liver Failure
Sudden loss of liver function often caused by toxins, infections, or drugs.
In severe cases where medications are no longer effective, patients may require liver transplant, advanced imaging, endoscopic procedures, and intensive liver care to prevent further deterioration.
Lifestyle Changes
Liver Strength & Daily Wellness
Healthy habits such as nutritious eating, avoiding alcohol, staying hydrated, and regular exercise help the liver perform better and maintain metabolic balance.
Recovery & Organ Protection
Patients recovering from liver disease or transplant need consistent monitoring, antiviral protection, immunosuppressive support, and infection control to ensure long-term liver health.
Healthy Aging & Prevention
Routine liver tests, hepatitis vaccinations, weight control, and early detection of abnormalities help protect liver function as you age and reduce the risk of chronic liver disorders.
Liver Transplant Treatment
