About Hepatologist Doctors

Conditions Treated by a Hepatologist

Hepatitis B

Chronic viral infection of the liver transmitted through blood and body fluids. India has approximately 4 crore carriers.

Hepatitis C

Viral liver infection now curable with direct-acting antiviral drugs. Previously spread through blood transfusions and unsafe injections.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Fat accumulation in the liver not caused by alcohol. Affects 1 in 3 urban Indians due to diet and sedentary lifestyle.

Cirrhosis

Permanent scarring of the liver from prolonged damage — alcohol, hepatitis, or fatty liver disease.

Alcoholic Liver Disease

Liver damage from chronic excessive alcohol consumption, progressing from fatty liver to hepatitis to cirrhosis.

Liver Cancer (Hepatocellular Carcinoma)

Cancer arising in the liver, usually in patients with pre-existing cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis B.

Liver Health Tips

  • Limit alcohol — your liver processes every drop
  • Get hepatitis B vaccination if not vaccinated
  • Lose weight to reverse fatty liver
  • Avoid unnecessary medications and herbal supplements
  • Never share needles, razors, or toothbrushes
  • Get liver function tests annually if you drink alcohol regularly

How to Prepare for Your Hepatologist Visit

Before Your Visit

  • Bring recent liver function tests (LFT), hepatitis B/C markers, and complete blood count
  • Bring ultrasound or FibroScan reports if available
  • List all medications, supplements, and ayurvedic/herbal preparations you take
  • Be prepared to discuss alcohol consumption honestly — quantity and duration

During the Appointment

  • Mention all medications including over-the-counter painkillers and herbal supplements
  • Discuss any family history of liver disease or liver cancer
  • Ask about vaccination for hepatitis A and B if not already vaccinated
  • Discuss dietary modifications specific to your liver condition

After the Visit

  • Stop alcohol completely if advised — even small amounts worsen liver disease
  • Follow dietary advice — reduce sugar, refined carbs, and fried foods for fatty liver
  • Take antiviral medications exactly as prescribed — missing doses can cause drug resistance
  • Get follow-up blood tests and imaging at recommended intervals

Questions to Ask Your Hepatologist

  1. 1.What stage is my liver disease?
  2. 2.Do I need a liver biopsy or FibroScan?
  3. 3.Is my hepatitis B/C curable or just manageable?
  4. 4.Can my fatty liver be reversed?
  5. 5.Which medications should I avoid?
  6. 6.Do I need screening for liver cancer?

When Should You See a Hepatologist?

A Hepatologist specializes in liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, and pancreas diseases.

  • Jaundice (yellow skin/eyes)
  • Chronic hepatitis B or C
  • Fatty liver progressing to NASH/fibrosis
  • Cirrhosis or liver failure symptoms
