🩺 Expert Hepatology & Liver Transplant Update 2025
By Dr. Chetan R. Kalal – Maharashtra’s First DM Hepatologist | India’s Leading Liver & Transplant Specialist
⚕️ Hepatology Update – The Changing Face of Liver Disease
India is witnessing an unprecedented rise in liver diseases. Fatty liver (MASLD/NASH), alcohol-related cirrhosis, and viral hepatitis are now among the top causes of liver failure. Early detection is key — with tools like FibroScan, MRI-PDFF, and advanced biomarkers allowing diagnosis years before cirrhosis develops.
Dr. Kalal’s View:
"In 2025, hepatology is about prevention and precision. Fatty liver today can become cirrhosis tomorrow if ignored. Regular liver check-ups are as important as sugar or BP testing."
