Best Liver Specialist in Ahmedabad — Expert Care for Liver Diseases



The liver is one of the most vital organs of our body, performing over 500 essential functions including digestion, metabolism, detoxification, and energy storage. Unfortunately, liver diseases are becoming increasingly common in India and worldwide.

Contrary to popular belief, liver problems are not limited to alcohol consumption. Over the last two decades, non-alcoholic and metabolic liver conditions have emerged as major causes of liver failure.

Common Types of Liver Diseases

Some of the major liver diseases include:

  • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
  • Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
  • Viral Hepatitis (A, B, C, E)
  • Autoimmune Hepatitis
  • Drug-Induced Liver Injury
  • Primary Biliary Cholangitis
  • Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
  • Vascular & Metabolic Liver Diseases
  • Liver Cancer & Cirrhosis

Among these, fatty liver disease has become the most common cause of liver problems in India, while cases of viral hepatitis are reducing due to improved treatments.

Symptoms of Liver Disease

Liver diseases may present in different ways:

  • Asymptomatic (detected during routine check-ups)
  • Acute hepatitis with or without jaundice
  • Cirrhosis of the liver (ascites, leg swelling, blood in vomit/stool)
  • Chronic hepatitis
  • Acute liver failure
  • Liver cancer

It is important to note that jaundice is a symptom, not a disease. Not every liver condition will present with jaundice.

Diagnosis of Liver Disease

Your doctor may recommend several investigations such as:

  • Complete blood count & liver function profile
  • Viral, autoimmune, and metabolic markers
  • Ultrasound / CT scan of the liver
  • Fibroscan or liver elastography
  • Rarely, a liver biopsy for confirmation

Since liver diseases may affect multiple organs, tests for the heart, kidneys, and other systems are sometimes necessary.

Treatment of Liver Disease

Treatment depends on the exact diagnosis and cause. It may involve:

  • Managing the underlying condition (alcohol, hepatitis, metabolic causes)
  • Liver-supportive medications & nutritional supplements
  • Lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise, avoiding alcohol)
  • Advanced therapies for cirrhosis and liver cancer
