Hepatology
Diagnosing, supporting and treating patients
This field of medicine relates to the liver, gall bladder, biliary tree and pancreas. Our consultants have high-level specialist expertise in diagnosing, supporting and treating patients with conditions affecting these organs.
Viral hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis are all increasing. Insulin resistance and lipid abnormalities all contribute to the kind of liver function that precedes cirrhosis.
The specialists within our Hepatology Clinic have expertise in quantifying this, and in managing all kinds of liver disease using blood tests and referral for fibroscan.
