Hepatology is a branch of medicine concerned with the study, prevention, diagnosis and management of diseases that affect the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree and pancreas. The term hepatology is derived from the Greek words “hepatikos” and “logia,” which mean liver and study, respectively. Hepatitis affects millions of individuals globally and is associated with several poor outcomes including liver transplant and liver cancer. In particular, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are major causes of liver cancer, while alcohol abuse has been linked to conditions such as cirrhosis and other serious complications. The conditions hepatologists deal with most frequently are viral hepatitis and alcohol-related liver disease.

Gadhikar Clinic offers experienced liver specialists to accurately diagnose and offer advanced treatments for all types of liver diseases, from common to rare and complex cases. We have specialists in one setting to help create an individualized treatment plan which is best for our patients. The liver is the body’s most complex organ, performing many essential tasks related to the conversion of food to energy (metabolism). Through a specialized filtering system, the liver performs the important task of removing toxins and impurities (such as alcohol, drugs and preservatives) from the blood. The liver is also an important site for converting food to energy and storing it as glycogen. When liver disease develops, the liver’s ability to perform its metabolic, detoxification and storage functions is impaired. When these essential processes are not working as they should, the entire body is affected. Gadhikar Clinic hepatologists are well-versed in new innovative and comprehensive therapies for any stage of liver disease.
