Hepatology is the branch of medicine concerning the study and management of ailments affecting the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree and pancreas. Most common complications are due to viral hepatitis and alcohol consumption leading to acute and chronic conditions like fatty liver, cirrhosis and cancer. Advanced screening methods and widespread implementation of vaccination in the field will go a long way in reducing infection rates.

Following my diagnosis of liver cirrhosis, I came to Mumbai for a liver transplant. I happened to meet this wonderful doctor, Dr Gaurav Gupta, who understood my condition and helped me understand the procedure, including the pros and cons. I thank Dr Gupta, Dr Swapnil, the surgical team, Dr Vaity, dietician Rasika, Physiotherapists Dr Neha, and Dr Pooja, Anaesthesia specialists Dr Vijay Shetty, and Dr Vaishali, and the ICU Nursing staff for the great care, and most importantly, for giving me my life back.
