Hepatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas, as well as related conditions, often grouped under “liver disease.” Doctors specialising in this area are called hepatologists, and many also have expertise in gastroenterology. Our team includes both consultant hepatologists and gastroenterologists.
Liver disease is often silent in its early stages, but common causes include obesity, alcohol misuse, and hepatitis infections. Symptoms may include fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, and yellowing of the skin or eyes, though many don’t appear until the condition is advanced.
Our consultants use the latest tests and treatments to manage liver, biliary, and pancreatic conditions, helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes. Early assessment is key.
Alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD)
Also known as alcoholic liver disease (ALD), this is the term given to liver damage caused by excessive alcohol consumption. There are three main stages: alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis and cirrhosis. These stages are progressive, thought the stages can overlap.
There are not usually symptoms in the early stages, but ARLD is often indicated by lifestyle factors or in the results of routine blood tests. A liver biopsy can then be taken to confirm a diagnosis.
This type of liver disease is caused by a buildup of fat in the liver and is usually seen in people who are overweight or obese. In the early stages, NAFLD is not usually dangerous, but gradually it can develop into cirrhosis.
Cancer of the liver does not always have an obvious cause but it is more likely if you have a form of liver disease such as hepatitis or AFLD.
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver, and the most common causes are a viral infection or drinking alcohol to excess. Hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis and, in some cases, liver cancer.
This is a form of liver disease that if left untreated can lead to liver failure. If you have PBC you will be given medication to prevent liver failure. But a liver transplant may be needed if you have severe liver damage.
