Transplant Hepatology

Transplant Hepatology is a specialized field within gastroenterology that focuses on the medical management and care of patients with liver disease who may be candidates for liver transplantation or have already undergone liver transplantation.

Expert Diagnosis and Treatment of Liver Conditions

Transplant Hepatology specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating various liver conditions, including cirrhosis, complications of portal hypertension, hepatitis, liver failure, and liver cancers. They work closely with a multidisciplinary team to evaluate patients' eligibility for liver transplantation, assess their overall health, and determine the best course of treatment.

Comprehensive Care Throughout the Transplantation Process

These specialists provide comprehensive care throughout the transplantation process, from pre-transplant evaluation to post-transplant follow-up. They collaborate with the transplant surgery team and other healthcare professionals to ensure optimal outcomes for transplant recipients.
