Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Advanced in Hepatology

The study, prevention, analysis, and treatment of infections that affect the pancreas, gallbladder, liver, and biliary systems are the focus of the medical field known as hepatology. Hepatitis C virus infection will no longer be a problem in the future of hepatology; a different problem has emerged. Hepatitis C virus is no longer the most common cause of chronic liver illnesses in western nations; instead, obesity, metabolic disorders, and related non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases have taken its place. Molecular biology, medicines, imaging, and surgery have made incredible strides that have greatly aided our understanding and ability to treat children with liver problems. There is currently no upper age or weight limit for recipients of liver transplants thanks to surgical breakthroughs.
