Overview Section

Hepatology

Our hepatology department focuses on the management of diseases or disorders related to the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and biliary system. As a renowned liver hospital in Chennai, our multidisciplinary team specialises in the management of various liver conditions. Beyond medical support for early diagnosis and treatment, we emphasise preventative care and offer lifestyle counselling and nutritional guidance.

Our cutting-edge technology and world-class infrastructure are tailored to the unique needs of hepatology patients. We aim for early detection and personalised treatment to improve the chances of a full recovery. We have made most aspects of our superior hepatology care cost-effective and accessible to a large group of people. 

Conditions Treated

We provide diagnosis, treatment, and preventative measures for a broad spectrum of hepatology disorders and diseases. Whether managing a chronic condition or treating complex disorders, we have touched the cornerstone of excellence.

  • Alcoholic Hepatitis: We provide medications like corticosteroids to reduce liver inflammation and encourage regeneration. Abstinence from alcohol, nutritional support, and regular monitoring help manage complications. When alcoholic hepatitis becomes irreversible, a liver transplant might be considered.
  • Autoimmune Hepatitis: We treat the condition with targeted immunosuppressants to prevent the immune system from attacking the liver. Additionally, making lifestyle modifications has shown positive results.
  • Enlarged Liver: Lifestyle changes and medication help improve the condition significantly. In the case of liver cancer or cirrhosis, we emphasise surgical intervention.
  • Hepatitis A: There are no specific treatments for this condition, but with rest, proper nutrition, replenishing fluids, medications, and regular monitoring, we manage symptoms and reduce the risks of complications.
  • Hepatitis B: Chronic hepatitis B is usually treated with oral medications to alleviate symptoms. However, it does not treat the infection, so you might need to take them indefinitely. There is no treatment for acute hepatitis B, but we provide supportive therapy to help you feel better.
  • Hepatitis C: We treat this with oral direct-action antiviral medication. It has proven to be highly effective in clearing the infection of 90% of people.
  • Liver Disease:  Depending on the cause, your healthcare provider recommends lifestyle changes and medications to manage symptoms. For liver cancer or liver cirrhosis, surgery might be a necessary option.
  • Liver Haemangiomas: In asymptomatic cases, doctors recommend close monitoring and screening to detect any changes. If it is large and causing problems, surgery is a viable option. Radiation therapy can be used to shrink the tumour.
  • Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): There is no specific treatment for this condition, but lifestyle changes and medication have proven to be effective.
  • Toxic Hepatitis: First, we eliminate the harmful substance causing the problem. We provide liver support therapies and medication to reverse liver damage. If the liver function is severely impaired, surgery is the only option.
