Hepatology

Hepatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating liver and biliary tract diseases, addressing conditions like metabolic liver disorders, autoimmune and viral hepatitis, alcohol-related liver disease, liver cancer, and cirrhosis.

At Ospedale San Raffaele, the hepatology clinic is part of the General Medicine Unit with an endocrino-metabolic focus, providing access to innovative treatments through participation in international clinical and research studies. The clinic offers a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating within the Liver Center to provide comprehensive care, from pre- and post-transplant assessments to nutritional counseling for patients with metabolic syndrome, obesity, alcohol use disorder, and liver cancers.

The clinic also offers advanced diagnostic and therapeutic services, including liver ultrasound, non-invasive liver stiffness measurement, and minimally invasive procedures in a day hospital setting.
