From cirrhosis and liver cancer to acute liver failure — Dr. Yadav helps you understand your diagnosis and whether a transplant is needed.
Many serious liver conditions have warning signs that are easy to miss. Understanding your diagnosis early — and getting a specialist opinion — gives you the most options. Below are the main conditions Dr. Sanjay Kumar Yadav treats.
Scarring of the liver from hepatitis B/C, alcohol or fatty liver disease. Advanced cirrhosis may need a transplant when the liver can no longer cope.
Hepatocellular carcinoma and other liver tumours. For selected patients, transplant or surgery can treat the cancer and the diseased liver together.
Sudden loss of liver function — a medical emergency that can require an urgent transplant. Rapid specialist care is critical.
Severe liver inflammation from alcohol. Some patients need intensive treatment and, in selected cases, transplantation.
Very common and often reversible early — but can progress to cirrhosis over years. Monitoring and early lifestyle advice matter.
Gallbladder, bile duct, pancreatic and other HPB problems — including HPB and gastrointestinal cancers.
Please seek a specialist opinion if you or a family member has any of these — early advice can be life-changing:
Cirrhosis needs a transplant when the liver can no longer perform its functions — signs include persistent jaundice, fluid in the abdomen (ascites), confusion (encephalopathy), or bleeding from the food pipe. A specialist assessment determines the right timing. Early referral gives more options.
For selected patients whose liver cancer is within certain criteria, a liver transplant can treat both the cancer and the underlying diseased liver. Whether transplant, surgery or other treatment is best depends on the tumour and liver condition — which is assessed case by case.
Acute liver failure is sudden, rapid loss of liver function in a person without long-standing liver disease. It is a medical emergency that can require an urgent transplant. If someone develops sudden severe jaundice with confusion, seek specialist care immediately.
Fatty liver is very common and often reversible with lifestyle change, but in some people it progresses to inflammation (NASH) and cirrhosis over years. Regular monitoring and early advice help prevent serious liver damage.
