Our approach to liver care

Our hepatology specialists diagnose and treat both acute and chronic liver conditions using evidence-based therapies and ongoing clinical research.
Coordinated, personalized treatment

We provide tailored treatment for viral hepatitis (hepatitis B and hepatitis C) and cirrhosis, including antiviral therapy, long-term monitoring, and access to clinical trials.

Specialized services include liver transplantation, incision-free tumor ablation, and shunt procedures for complications of liver disease.

Liver diagnosis and monitoring

Regular evaluation is an essential part of managing liver disease. Many diseases require ongoing monitoring to track progression and guide treatment.

We use a range of noninvasive tests to assess liver health and detect damage from conditions such as viral hepatitis and fatty liver disease, often without the need for biopsy. Results are reviewed promptly to support timely treatment decisions.

Viral hepatitis treatment
Effective therapies are now available for both hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Antiviral medications can control hepatitis B and protect liver function over time. For hepatitis C, oral treatments offer a cure for 95% of patients and significantly reduce the risk level of cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Our approach

We care for people with all types of acute and chronic liver disease. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive surgery techniques to minimize scarring, reduce pain, and speed recovery.

Our liver transplant program offers a full range of transplant options, including living donor and deceased donor liver transplantation.
