When it comes to managing cirrhosis, a team of specialists works together to provide comprehensive care. Here’s a quick look at the doctors and departments that play a crucial role in treating this complex liver condition:

• Hepatologists: Liver specialists who are the primary doctors for cirrhosis. They manage liver function, monitor progression, and recommend lifestyle changes or treatments to slow the disease.

• Gastroenterologists: Experts in digestive health, gastroenterologists treat complications arising from cirrhosis, such as variceal bleeding and fluid buildup in the abdomen.

• Liver Transplant Surgeons: When cirrhosis reaches an advanced stage, transplant surgeons evaluate the need for a liver transplant and perform the surgery if necessary.

• Critical Care and Intensive Care Teams: In severe cases, especially during liver failure or before a transplant, the ICU team provides round-the-clock monitoring and support.

This collaborative approach ensures that every aspect of cirrhosis care is addressed, helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
