Frequently Asked Questions

Hepatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of liver diseases and disorders, including conditions affecting the liver, bile ducts, and gallbladder.

Common liver diseases include hepatitis (caused by viral infections such as hepatitis B and C), fatty liver disease (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic liver disease), liver cirrhosis, liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma), autoimmune liver diseases (such as autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cholangitis), and genetic liver disorders (such as hemochromatosis and Wilson's disease).

Risk factors for liver disease include chronic alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis infections (hepatitis B and C), obesity, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, certain medications (such as acetaminophen overdose and some prescription drugs), autoimmune diseases, genetic factors, and exposure to toxins or environmental pollutants.

Symptoms of liver disease vary depending on the underlying condition but may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), abdominal pain and swelling, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, dark urine, pale stools, itching, and easy bruising or bleeding.

Diagnosis of liver diseases involves a combination of medical history evaluation, physical examination, blood tests (liver function tests, viral hepatitis serology, and specific biomarkers), imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI), liver biopsy, and sometimes specialized tests (such as transient elastography for liver fibrosis assessment).

Liver cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by long-term liver damage and inflammation. Treatment focuses on managing complications, preventing further liver damage, and addressing underlying causes (such as alcohol cessation, antiviral therapy for hepatitis, and lifestyle modifications). In some cases, liver transplantation may be necessary for advanced cirrhosis.
