The Hepatology Clinic at CMC Hospital is a multidisciplinary team of liver doctors in Dubai including Gastroenterologists, Hepatologists, General Surgeons, HPB Surgeons and Radiologists specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases.
The liver is a vital organ responsible for a number of important functions in the body, such as filtering toxins from the blood, producing bile to aid in digestion, and storing and releasing glucose as needed. However, the liver can be affected by a number of diseases and conditions, including viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cirrhosis, and liver cancer. With training from leading liver centers around the world, our liver specialists at CMC Hospital Dubai provide comprehensive care for patients with liver diseases.
Some liver diseases may not cause symptoms until the condition has progressed, which is why regular liver function tests are important for early detection and treatment.
If you have liver disease, it is important to work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
Some common liver diseases include hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer.
Viral hepatitis is a liver inflammation caused by a viral infection, including hepatitis A, B, and C. Treatment options may include antiviral medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, liver transplantation.
Some liver diseases can be prevented through lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, limiting alcohol intake, and avoiding tobacco products. Vaccines are also available to prevent hepatitis A and B.
Treatment options for liver disease depend on the specific condition and can include medication, lifestyle changes, surgery, or a combination of these approaches.
The prognosis for liver disease can vary depending on the specific condition and the stage at which it is diagnosed. Some conditions, such as early-stage liver cancer, have a good prognosis with prompt treatment, while others, such as advanced-stage cirrhosis, may have a poorer prognosis.
