Loyola's hepatologists, or liver disease experts, have earned a national reputation for excellent care. Our experts have developed effective, nationally recognized treatment plans for hard-to-treat and advanced cases of hepatitis B and C. Additionally, the team is skilled at treating all aspects of liver disease, including cholestatic liver diseases, hepatoma and hepatic failure.
When transplant appears to be the necessary medical treatment, you will participate in the Liver Transplant Clinic. The hepatology team is an integral part of Loyola's liver transplant program, along with Loyola's liver transplant surgeons, social workers, nutrition experts, specially trained nurses, pharmacologists and many others. The multidisciplinary team will work with you through transplant and in the years that follow.
Our hepatology team's research interests include developing markers for detecting early stages of fibrosis in liver disease, reasons for non-response to interferon treatment in hepatitis C and liver cancers.
