What do Hepatologists do?
Hepatology physicians, or hepatologists, are specialists who diagnose, treat, and manage diseases of the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas.
They treat conditions such as fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, and liver cancer through physical examinations, diagnostic tests, medical treatments, and specialized procedures like liver biopsies and HIDA scans.
What they do
Diagnose: They identify the specific liver disease by evaluating symptoms, performing physical exams, and using tests such as blood tests, imaging scans (MRI, CT, ultrasound), and biopsies.
Treat: They develop and implement medical treatment plans to manage the condition and prevent further liver damage.
Manage: They manage chronic liver conditions, including determining the need for liver transplantation and managing post-transplant care.
Perform Procedures: Hepatologists may perform procedures like liver biopsies to analyze tissue or endoscopies to evaluate the liver and surrounding organs.
Hepatologists treat a wide range of liver and biliary-related conditions, including:
- Cirrhosis: Significant scarring of the liver.
- Hepatitis: Acute or chronic inflammation of the liver.
- Fatty Liver Disease: The buildup of fat in the liver.
- Alcohol-Related Liver Disease: Damage to the liver from alcohol.
- Liver Cancer: Malignant tumors in the liver.
- Biliary Tract Diseases: Conditions like primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and bile duct cancer.
- Acute or Chronic Liver Failure: Inability of the liver to function correctly.
Training
Hepatologists are medical doctors who first complete a fellowship in gastroenterology, a field focused on the entire digestive system.
They then complete additional specialized training (another fellowship) in hepatology to become experts in liver diseases.
