Expert Hepatology & Liver Transplant Services Update
Dr Chetan Kalal
Associate Director – Hepatology & Liver Transplant, Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai
Maharashtra’s First DM Hepatologist | Trained under Prof. S.K. Sarin, ILBS New Delhi
Complex liver disease does not wait for convenience. Neither does transplant evaluation. Dr Chetan Kalal provides decisive, evidence-based hepatology and liver transplant care for patients who need clarity, not more opinions that delay action.
Core Services
- Advanced inpatient (IPD) management of Acute Liver Failure (ALF), Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF), decompensated cirrhosis, severe alcoholic hepatitis, and portal hypertension complications
- Pre-transplant evaluation, optimisation, and candidacy assessment (including high-risk and previously declined cases)
- Post-transplant aftercare, immunosuppression management, rejection surveillance, and long-term metabolic care
- Precision management of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD/MASH), fibrosis staging (FibroScan-guided), autoimmune liver disease, viral hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, and hepatocellular carcinoma pathways
- Structured second-opinion reviews for unclear diagnoses, failed medical therapy, or transplant recommendations that require independent hepatology scrutiny
Global Virtual Consults & Aftercare
Secure video consultations and comprehensive report-based second opinions available for patients in the United States, United Kingdom, UAE (Dubai), Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Middle East, Europe (including Paris and London), and across Asia. Ideal for:
- International patients seeking transplant evaluation or cost-effective pathways in India
- Post-transplant monitoring and aftercare continuity
- Second opinions when local management has stalled
Reports, imaging, and prior treatment history are reviewed in detail before the consult. Clear written recommendations and next-step pathways follow every engagement.
Mumbai & Maharashtra Access
Consultations and coordinated IPD care for patients from South Mumbai, Worli, Lower Parel, Dadar, Bandra, Khar, Pali Hill, Juhu, Andheri, Kandivali, Borivali, Virar, Vasai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane. Hospital-based care at Gleneagles Hospital with seamless transition between outpatient, inpatient, and virtual follow-up.
Why This Practice
Dr Kalal holds the distinction of being Maharashtra’s first DM in Hepatology and Transplant Medicine. His training at ILBS under one of the field’s leading authorities, combined with AASLD Young Investigator recognition, peer-reviewed publications, and years of high-volume complex liver and transplant work, produces one outcome: decisive clinical direction. Patients and referring physicians come when the diagnosis is unclear, treatment has failed, or transplant decisions require independent specialist oversight.
This is not volume-driven care. It is structured hepatology with transplant focus.
