Best Transplant Hepatologist in Hyderabad

A transplant hepatologist is a specialized physician who undergoes additional training in gastroenterology and treats end-stage liver disease. To qualify as a transplant hepatologist, one has to complete five and half years of graduation in MBBS, and then pursue post graduation or MD in General Medicine, followed by a super specialization in gastroenterology and an additional sub specialization degree in liver transplant procedures. Transplant hepatologists provide comprehensive care by offering pre-transplant care, involving assessment of the patients with end- stage liver disease, and also determining the suitability for the procedure. Hepatic surgery involves replacing the damaged liver with a healthy liver from a donor. Transplant hepatologists also provide post transplant care and treat potential complications like infections, ascites, hypersplenism, hepatic encephalopathy, pruritis, portal hypertension, respiratory failure, kidney failure, organ rejection and recurrence of liver diseases.
