Hepatology

Hepatology specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions related to the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and biliary tract. While the primary focus of a hepatologist is the liver addressing conditions like fatty liver disease, jaundice, and hepatitis infections they also treat other hepatic system disorders such as gallstones, pancreatitis, and bile duct cancer.

When the hepatic system, particularly the liver, functions poorly, it can lead to a range of serious health issues that impact your quality of life. This is why Medcy Hospitals has a dedicated team of skilled hepatologists committed to safeguarding the health of your liver and helping you achieve a long, healthy life.

Types of Hepatology Treatments at Medcy Hospitals

We offer a range of hepatology treatments that combine precision and expertise to deliver quick, long term results.

Diagnostic & Interventional Procedures

• Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): This procedure combines upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and X-rays to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile and pancreatic ducts, liver, and gallbladder. It can be used to identify and treat bile duct blockages, infections, tumors, and fluid leakages.

Disease Management

• Hepatitis C Treatment: Hepatitis C is a virus that causes a serious liver infection. Modern treatment typically involves a short course of highly effective antiviral medication that can cure the infection, though advanced cases may require a liver transplant.
• Hepatitis B Treatment: Hepatitis B is a virus that causes liver inflammation. While acute infections often resolve on their own, chronic Hepatitis B requires careful and regular surveillance of the liver, with medications and lifestyle changes used to prevent long-term complications.
• Sclerotherapy: While commonly used for cosmetic purposes, sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into a vein to close it off. In hepatology, it can be used to manage enlarged veins (varices) in the esophagus, a complication of severe liver disease.
• ND: YAG Laser Treatment: This non surgical approach uses a laser to treat various conditions, including varicose veins and spider veins that can be associated with liver disease. Lasers are also used for other treatments related to the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts.

Surgical Solutions

• Whipple Procedure (Pancreaticoduodenectomy): This complex surgery involves removing the head of the pancreas, the gallbladder, the bile duct, and the first section of the small intestine. It is primarily recommended for treating cancer in the head of the pancreas, after which the remaining organs are reconnected to restore normal digestion.
