A Hepatologist, or liver specialist, diagnoses and treats diseases of the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts and pancreas. In Bangladesh, where viral hepatitis and fatty liver are very common, patients usually visit one for hepatitis B and C, fatty liver disease (NAFLD), jaundice that will not settle, cirrhosis, abnormal liver function tests (raised SGPT/SGOT), gallstones, ascites (fluid in the abdomen) and liver-related complications of diabetes or alcohol. Many hepatologists are gastroenterologists or medicine specialists with extra liver training. In a consultation, the doctor reviews your symptoms, jaundice or itching history, alcohol and medication use, and existing reports, examines your abdomen, and then advises tests such as LFT, hepatitis B and C screening, ultrasound of the upper abdomen, FibroScan or, if needed, a liver biopsy. You should see a hepatologist if you have yellow eyes or urine, long-standing right upper abdominal pain, a fatty liver or hepatitis result on a health check-up, swelling of the abdomen or legs, or a family history of liver disease. Early review can prevent progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer.
