Hepatology & Liver Transplant Services Update

Dr Chetan Kalal, DM (Hepatology)

Advanced Liver Disease | Transplant Medicine | Structured Second Opinion

Subspecialty Liver Care — Not General Gastroenterology

Dr Chetan Kalal focuses exclusively on hepatology and liver transplant medicine, managing complex liver disease across outpatient, inpatient, ICU, and transplant settings.

This practice is built for:

• Advanced cirrhosis

• Portal hypertension

• Acute liver failure

• Autoimmune hepatitis

• Complex hepatitis B & C

• MASLD / NASH with fibrosis

• Liver tumors requiring clarity

• Pre- and post-liver transplant care

This is structured hepatology — not symptomatic treatment.

Core Clinical Programs

1. Advanced Cirrhosis & Portal Hypertension Care

• Risk stratification using MELD & Child-Pugh

• Variceal screening & bleeding prevention

• Refractory ascites protocols

• Hepatic encephalopathy management

• Infection risk reduction

• Early transplant timing assessment

The focus is preventing first decompensation — not reacting to crisis.

2. Liver Transplant Medicine

• Pre-transplant evaluation

• Listing and timing decisions

• Second opinion before committing to surgery

• Living donor coordination guidance

• Post-transplant immunosuppression management

• Long-term graft surveillance

Transplant success depends on timing and metabolic stability — not just surgery.

3. Structured Second Opinion Program

• Are told to “wait and watch”

• Imaging reassessment

• Drug rationalisation
