Gastroenterology & Hepatology

Advanced Hepatology

The demand for hepatologists who are qualified to treat patients with chronic liver disease and liver transplantation has significantly increased as the area of general hepatology continues to develop and expand and as the number of liver transplant cases rises. The study, prognosis, analysis, and treatment of infectious disorders that affect the pancreas, gallbladder, liver, and bile ducts are all included within the medical specialty of hepatology. Hepatitis C virus infection will be eliminated in the future of hepatology, and new difficulties have emerged. As a result, in-depth training is absolutely important to get extra information and skills in this specific gastroenterology subspecialty. The American Board of Internal Medicine started giving certification tests for transplanted hepatology in November 2006. It is now recognized as a discipline in its own right.
