Understanding Hepatobiliary Disease
Hepatobiliary disease encompasses conditions affecting the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas. These include hepatitis, cirrhosis, gallstones, and various tumors. These organs work together in digestion and metabolism. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving gastroenterologists, hepatologists, and surgeons to provide comprehensive care for these interconnected organs.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Liver Function Tests: Assessing hepatic function.
- Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
- Endoscopic Procedures: ERCP for biliary access.
- Liver Biopsy: Tissue sampling when needed.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve medications, dietary changes, surgery, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support liver function and detoxification.
- Medications: Antivirals for viral hepatitis.
- Dietary Modifications: Low-fat, nutrient-rich diet.
- Surgical Options: For gallstones or tumors.
- Integrative TCM: Herbs to support liver health.
