Dr Chetan Kalal Bio
I am a hepatologist and liver transplant physician based in Mumbai, working with patients who have advanced liver disease, fatty liver (MASLD/NASH), cirrhosis, liver cancer, and post–liver transplant complications.
My clinical work focuses on disease staging, transplant decision-making, and long-term outcomes rather than short-term reassurance. I often see patients after multiple conflicting opinions, where clarity and timing matter more than urgency.
I participate here to explain how hepatologists think, what truly changes outcomes in liver disease, and which red flags should not be ignored.

I am a hepatologist and liver transplant physician with experience in advanced liver disease, metabolic liver disorders (MASLD/NASH), liver cancer, and post–liver transplant care.
Much of my work involves helping patients and families navigate complex decisions — such as when to monitor, when to intervene, and when liver transplantation truly improves survival.
I write to provide medically accurate, evidence-based explanations and to clarify common misconceptions around liver disease, transplant timing, and long-term outcomes.
