Why a dedicated liver clinic?
Liver disease is often silent until it is advanced. Many people first hear about it through a routine ultrasound that shows “fatty liver”, or a blood test with raised SGPT/SGOT. Early assessment — finding the cause and measuring how much scarring (fibrosis) is present — makes a real difference to the outcome.
What we look after
- Fatty liver (NAFLD / MASLD) and metabolic liver disease
- Hepatitis B and hepatitis C
- Jaundice and abnormal liver function tests
- Alcohol-related liver disease
- Cirrhosis and its complications
How a liver assessment works
Your visit typically includes a detailed history, examination, targeted blood tests, review of imaging and a FibroScan to measure liver stiffness and fat. Together these tell us the cause, the stage and the right plan — from lifestyle changes and medicines to monitoring for complications.

Frequently asked questions
Fatty liver is common and often reversible, but some people develop inflammation and scarring. A FibroScan and a few blood tests tell us whether your liver is at risk, so you know how seriously to take it.
