Gastroenterology & Hepatology Clinic

Gastroenterology is a medical specialty that deals with the study of the digestive system and its disorders. It focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists are medical doctors who specialize in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology.

Some common conditions that gastroenterologists diagnose and treat include:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Peptic ulcers
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
Celiac disease
Pancreatitis
Liver diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease
Gallbladder diseases, such as gallstones

Why Gastroenterologist?

You may be referred to a gastroenterologist for several reasons, including:

Digestive Symptoms: If you have persistent digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, or vomiting, your primary care physician may refer you to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Screening: You may be referred to a gastroenterologist for routine screening if you have a family history of digestive disorders or if you are at high risk for developing digestive problems. This can include screening for colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and other conditions.
Abnormal Test Results: If you have abnormal test results from a routine checkup, such as an elevated liver enzyme level, your doctor may refer you to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.
Chronic Conditions: If you have a chronic digestive condition such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or celiac disease, your doctor may refer you to a gastroenterologist for ongoing management and treatment.
Reflux Symptoms: If you have persistent reflux symptoms such as heartburn or regurgitation, your primary care physician may refer you to a gastroenterologist for evaluation and treatment, especially if symptoms are not well controlled with over-the-counter medications.

A gastroenterologist can perform diagnostic tests to determine the cause of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan to help manage your condition.

Hepatology is a medical specialty that deals with the study of the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, and pancreas, and their disorders. Hepatologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect these organs.

Some common liver and biliary disorders that hepatologists diagnose and treat include:

Viral hepatitis, including hepatitis B and C
Alcoholic liver disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Cirrhosis
Autoimmune liver diseases, such as autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cholangitis
Liver cancer
Gallbladder and biliary tract diseases, including gallstones and biliary tract obstruction

Hepatologists use a variety of diagnostic tests to evaluate patients, including blood tests, imaging tests such as ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRIs, and liver biopsy. Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition, but may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgical intervention.

Hepatology is closely related to gastroenterology, as many of the disorders affecting the liver and biliary tree have digestive symptoms and are managed in conjunction with the digestive system. Hepatologists often work closely with gastroenterologists, transplant surgeons, and oncologists to provide comprehensive care to patients with liver diseases.

Why Hepatologist?

You may be referred to a hepatologist for several reasons, including:

Abnormal Liver Tests: If you have elevated liver enzymes or other abnormal liver tests on routine blood work, your primary care physician may refer you to a hepatologist for further evaluation and treatment.
Chronic Liver Disease: If you have a chronic liver disease such as hepatitis B or C, fatty liver disease, or autoimmune liver disease, your doctor may refer you to a hepatologist for ongoing management and treatment.
Liver Cancer: If you have been diagnosed with liver cancer, your doctor may refer you to a hepatologist for evaluation and treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.
Liver Transplant: If you are a candidate for liver transplant, a hepatologist will be an integral part of your care team before and after transplant.
Alcohol or Drug Abuse: If you have a history of alcohol or drug abuse that has led to liver damage, your doctor may refer you to a hepatologist for evaluation and treatment.

Hepatologists can perform diagnostic tests to determine the cause of your liver problems and develop a personalized treatment plan to help manage your condition. They can also provide counseling on lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to help improve your liver health. Additionally, hepatologists work closely with other specialists such as gastroenterologists, transplant surgeons, and oncologists to provide comprehensive care to patients with liver diseases.
