Profession
Hepatologist
Healthy liver, healthy life.
You are a doctor who specializes in the liver and related organs. As a hepatologist, you diagnose and treat conditions like hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer, and you help manage patients who may need a liver transplant. You review scans and lab work, examine patients, and build treatment plans that can span years, since many liver conditions are chronic. You work in hospitals, clinics, and transplant centers, often alongside surgeons, gastroenterologists, and nurses. Your care can help people manage a lifelong condition or recover a healthy life.
