Your digestive health affects your overall health and well-being. We see you and your needs. Your team within AHN’s Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition will review your individual needs to provide a thorough treatment plan that addresses your specific digestive health issues.
Diagnosing digestive disorders starts with a physical examination and reviewing your medical history. To get a full picture of your health, we’ll order blood tests and imaging studies including ultrasounds and CT scans, and endoscopic procedures, possibly including a biopsy. Since your digestive health is unique to you, options for treatment vary depending on your needs. Those may include: medications, lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and/or endoscopic procedures.
Hepatology is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on the liver. AHN hepatologists work closely with patients to monitor their liver function, manage symptoms, and prevent complications. They also play a crucial role in identifying patients who may be candidates for liver transplantation.
A liver transplant is a complex surgical procedure that involves replacing a diseased liver with a healthy one from a deceased donor. It is a life-saving option for patients with end-stage liver failure, a condition where the liver can no longer perform its essential functions. AHN liver surgeons are at the forefront for using innovative treatments and approaches when it comes to liver transplants. From 2023, AHN liver transplant surgeons performed more than 60 successful liver transplants; that is the highest number performed since the area was created.
Your care team within AHN hepatology and liver transplants is here to help you through this with education, understanding, and expertise.
