About this specialty
Hepatology addresses viral and chronic hepatitis, fatty liver disease, fibrosis, cirrhosis and its complications, disorders of liver function, and the follow-up of patients under long-term surveillance or being considered for transplantation.
Liver disease is quiet in its early stages, and both staging fibrosis and timing the start of treatment depend on a careful reading of imaging and laboratory results. A consultant opinion clarifies where your case sits on that path, and what can be done now to slow its progression.
