Medicover Hospital<\/a> has launched a dedicated liver clinic in Navi Mumbai as cases of fatty liver disease, hepatitis, alcohol-related liver injury, and other metabolic liver disorders continue to rise.<\/p>\nThe new clinic is designed to support earlier detection and long-term management of liver disease through structured screening and diagnostic evaluation.<\/p>\n
Risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, hypothyroidism, sedentary lifestyles, alcohol use, hepatitis B and C infections, autoimmune conditions, and family history are contributing to a growing number of liver problems.<\/p>\n
Many patients do not show symptoms in the early stages, which means the disease is often diagnosed only after it has progressed to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver failure.<\/p>\n
According to Dr Vikram Dharap, consultant gastroenterologist, hepatologist, and therapeutic endoscopist, the clinic focuses on identifying high-risk individuals early through targeted screening and detailed testing.<\/p>\n
He said the aim is to catch the disease before it advances and to slow or stop its progression.<\/p>\n
The screening programme is especially recommended for individuals with diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypothyroidism, alcohol use, hepatitis B or C infection, family history of liver disease, and autoimmune liver conditions.<\/p>\n
The clinic also focuses on preventive liver health in selected high-risk patients.<\/p>\n
It offers tests including FibroScan, liver function tests (LFT), complete blood counts (CBC), triple marker testing (as indicated), and abdominal ultrasound scans where needed.<\/p>\n
These are used to assess fat buildup, inflammation, fibrosis, and liver performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is amidst rising liver disease cases.
