About Paediatric Hepatology

Paediatric Hepatology is a specialized medical field focused on diagnosing, managing, and treating liver, gallbladder, and bile duct disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. A Pediatric Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist is a doctor with advanced training in both digestive and liver diseases specific to this age group. This comprehensive care involves detailed evaluation through blood tests, imaging (like ultrasound or MRI), and sometimes liver biopsy to pinpoint conditions such as neonatal jaundice, viral hepatitis, metabolic liver diseases, autoimmune hepatitis, or biliary atresia. The goal is to provide tailored medical management, nutritional support, and, when necessary, coordinate advanced interventions like liver transplantation to ensure optimal growth, development, and long-term liver health for the child.
