Hepatology
Hepatology
Hepatology is a field of Gastroenterology with rapid advances. It is rapidly evolving as a specialised field for care of wide spectrum of liver disease ranging from acute hepatitis to acute liver failure to end-stage liver disease.
The common cause for chronic liver disease is alcohol followed by Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C virus infection and Fatty Liver Disease. These patients eventually end up in liver cirrhosis liver cancer and other cirrhosis related complications most of which are life threatening. Timely liver transplant can provide a cure.
