Conditions We Treat
Liver Cirrhosis
A chronic condition where healthy tissue is replaced by scar tissue, gradually affecting the liver's ability to function properly.
Symptoms
- Fatigue and weakness
- Fluid buildup in legs/abdomen
- Yellowing of skin
Causes
- Chronic viral hepatitis
- Metabolic changes
- Long-term inflammation
Treatment Approach
- Nutritional support
- Fluid management
- Lifestyle optimization
Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The most common form of primary liver cell transformation, often arising in the setting of long-term liver concerns.
Symptoms
- Upper abdominal discomfort
- Loss of appetite
- Weight changes
Causes
- Chronic viral infection
- Underlying liver scarring
- Metabolic conditions
Treatment Approach
- Localized therapies
- Surgical consultation
- Comprehensive monitoring
Liver Abscess
A localized pocket of infection within the liver tissue that requires prompt diagnosis and targeted management.
Symptoms
- Fever and chills
- Upper right pain
- General malaise
Causes
- Bacterial entry
- Biliary tract issues
- Adjacent infections
Treatment Approach
- Targeted antibiotics
- Guided drainage
- Supportive recovery care
Autoimmune Hepatitis
A condition where the body's natural defense system mistakenly identifies liver cells as foreign, leading to inflammation.
Symptoms
- Common fatigue
- Joint sensitivity
- Skin irritation
Causes
- Immune system factors
- Genetic predisposition
- Environmental triggers
Treatment Approach
- Immune balancing care
- Long-term monitoring
- Symptom management
Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
A gradual condition affecting the small bile ducts in the liver, which can lead to bile buildup and tissue changes over time.
Symptoms
- Skin sensitivity (itching)
- General tiredness
- Dry eyes or mouth
Causes
- Immune-mediated response
- Bile duct sensitivity
- Genetic factors
Treatment Approach
- Biliary flow support
- Skin care management
- Nutritional optimization
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
A chronic condition affecting both inner and outer bile ducts, leading to narrowing and potential flow obstructions.
Symptoms
- Pain in upper abdomen
- Recurrent fever
- Skin yellowing
Causes
- Bile duct inflammation
- Immune system factors
- Associated bowel health
Treatment Approach
- Duct opening support
- Vitamins and nutrition
- Specialized monitoring
Wilson Disease
A rare condition where copper accumulates in the body, primarily in the liver and brain, needing careful management.
Symptoms
- Coordination changes
- Fatigue and jaundice
- Muscle stiffness
Causes
- Genetic predisposition
- Copper processing change
- Cellular changes
Treatment Approach
- Copper balancing care
- Dietary management
- Organ support therapy
Drug Induced Liver Injury
A temporary or persistent liver sensitivity resulting from medications, supplements, or environmental substances.
Symptoms
- Rapid fatigue
- Nausea or vomiting
- Skin yellowing
Causes
- Substance sensitivity
- Metabolic overload
- Toxin exposure
Treatment Approach
- Substance removal
- Supportive detox
- Recovery monitoring
Hepatitis – B, C, A, E
Viral infections affecting the liver that range from acute sensitivity to long-term health concerns, requiring tailored care.
Symptoms
- Flu-like aching
- Darkened urine

Causes
- Viral transmission
- Water/Food safety
- Cellular changes
Treatment Approach
- Antiviral support
- Hydration care
- Protective screening
Acute Liver Failure
A sudden loss of liver function that occurs quickly, needing immediate medical evaluation and comprehensive support.
Symptoms
- Mental confusion
- Sleepiness
- Skin yellowing
Causes
- Substance overload
- Viral infections
- Autoimmune onset
Treatment Approach
- Crisis management
- Cause elimination
- Intensive monitoring
Non-cirrhotic Portal Hypertension
Increased pressure in the portal venous system that occurs without the typical liver scarring seen in cirrhosis.
Symptoms
- Spleen enlargement
- Belly fluid accumulation
- Digestive spotting
Causes
- Vein clotting issues
- Micro-vascular changes
- Flow obstructions
Treatment Approach
- Pressure management
- Flow optimization
- Protective monitoring
