A variety of diseases affect these organs and their management is also the brief of this department. It can be said that the Department of Hepatology, Pancreato-biliary Sciences and Liver Transplantation at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital is a one-stop solution for all problems related to the liver. Our doctors are experienced and well trained. They work together and provide a care plan that not only treats the patient’s illness but also addresses the emotional stress which is part and parcel of the diagnosis of chronic liver disease. Our team specializes in detecting liver diseases and provides modern treatment approaches with innovative techniques, even for the conditions once which were thought untreatable.
Severe acute and advanced, end stage liver diseases affect every organ of the body, leading to major morbidity and eventually death of the afflicted individual. Liver transplantation, an established procedure since 1983, is not only a life-saving procedure but can also improve the quality of life of the individual to near-normal. Live donor liver transplantation (LDLT) takes advantage of the fact that the liver is one of the few organs in the body that are capable of regeneration and is the commonest form of LT practiced in northern India.
