Common Questions
Hepatologists manage the full range of liver care — from interpreting liver function tests and imaging to prescribing antiviral therapy for hepatitis, managing cirrhosis and its complications, coordinating fatty liver disease treatment, and evaluating patients for liver transplant.
Many liver conditions can be managed and some can be reversed, especially when caught early. Fatty liver disease often improves with lifestyle changes, hepatitis C is now curable, and hepatitis B can be controlled with medication. Early diagnosis makes the biggest difference.
Hepatologists treat fatty liver disease (MASLD/MASH), viral hepatitis B and C, cirrhosis, autoimmune hepatitis, hemochromatosis, elevated liver enzymes, alcohol-related liver disease, liver cancer, and patients before and after liver transplant.
Not always. Mild or transient abnormalities are often monitored by a primary care provider. A hepatologist is recommended when results stay abnormal, when there are risk factors or symptoms, or when a specific liver condition needs specialized diagnosis and management.
