Hepatology
Hepatology clinic
Specialized clinic for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of liver, biliary system and pancreatic diseases.
Main information
The liver is the metabolic center. It is the central factory in the body. It serves as a sorting center and reservoir of substances essential for life. The contents of liver cells constantly change according to what we consume and what is being produced there. Liver activity is regulated by the current needs of the organism. The liver processes all nutrients that enter the body through food. Nutrients are transformed into building blocks, energy, blood clotting factors, or immune factors. Many medications are also processed in the liver - first into active forms, later into waste products that are then excreted in stool and urine. The liver processes everything that enters the body, including alcohol. The liver is also a site for processing the body's own waste, working efficiently, with many intermediate products being sorted and recycled. Our focus is on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients with liver diseases, regardless of cause and stage, from simple fatty liver to liver cancer. We utilize decades of experience both domestically and internationally, supported by cutting-edge equipment and rational organization of activities.

Diagnostics
In diagnostics, we use a professional interview, documentation analysis, clinical examination, blood parameter analysis, ultrasound diagnostics and endoscopic methods. Health documentation, although seemingly confusing, is a valuable source of information for the expert. We determine the diagnosis and stage of the disease based on detailed processing of all data and based on the assessment of their development over time. An accurate diagnosis of the disease and its stages is a guarantee of correct hepatological treatment.
Follow-up care
Regular monitoring of patients according to disease severity - from annual to more frequent check-ups
