Hepatology
Get clarity, guidance and long-term support for liver and bile duct conditions - delivered by specialists who understand the complexity of your health and the importance of your wellbeing.
Comprehensive Expertise in Hepatology
Hepatology is the specialised area of medicine focused on the liver and bile ducts - organs essential to digestion, detoxification, and overall health. Many of our gastroenterologists also have additional training in hepatology, allowing them to care for people with complex liver conditions using advanced diagnostics and evidence-based treatment.
Our team is experienced in managing conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Whether you have recently been diagnosed or are living with a long-term liver condition, you're in expert hands.
Specialist Solutions for Liver Conditions
Liver conditions can be difficult to detect and manage without the right expertise.
Our hepatology-trained specialists offer thorough assessments and customised care plans to ensure you receive the right treatment for your specific needs.
Using advanced tests and procedures, they help identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and guide you through every step of diagnosis and management.
Your care may include ongoing monitoring, lifestyle and dietary recommendations, medication, or further treatment - all designed to support your health and improve your quality of life.
