 & Alcoholic Liver Disease Care.webp)
At Kiran Gastro & Liver Clinic, Advanced Endoscopy Center, Dr. Kiran Kumar Jogu, a leading gastroenterologist and hepatologist in Hyderabad, provides expert diagnosis and management for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Alcoholic Liver Disease. These conditions affect liver health, potentially leading to severe complications like cirrhosis or liver failure if untreated.
NAFLD: A condition characterised by fat accumulation in the liver not caused by alcohol consumption. It ranges from simple fatty liver (steatosis) to inflammation and damage (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis or NASH).
Alcoholic Liver Disease: Occurs due to excessive alcohol consumption, leading to fat buildup, inflammation, and eventual scarring of the liver (cirrhosis)
Both NAFLD and Alcoholic Liver Disease may remain asymptomatic in the early stages but can progress to:
Dr. Kiran utilises cutting-edge diagnostic tools for accurate detection and assessment of liver conditions:
Liver Function Tests (LFTs): Check liver enzyme levels to assess damage.
Ultrasound or FibroScan: Detect fat accumulation and measure liver stiffness.
CT or MRI Scans: Provide detailed imaging of liver structure.
Liver Biopsy: For precise evaluation of inflammation, scarring, or fat buildup.
Personalized Treatment Plans: Dr. Kiran provides holistic care tailored to the type and stage of liver disease.
Lifestyle Modifications: Weight loss, a balanced diet, and increased physical activity.
Medications:Address associated conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension.
Monitoring:Regular follow-ups to track liver health and prevent progression to NASH or cirrhosis.
Yes, in its early stages, lifestyle changes like weight loss and a healthy diet can reverse NAFLD.
The best prevention is to limit alcohol intake or abstain entirely. Regular liver health check-ups are also essential.
If untreated, NAFLD can progress to Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), which may lead to cirrhosis or liver failure.
Chronic consumption exceeding 2-3 standard drinks per day for men or 1-2 for women increases the risk of Alcoholic Liver Disease.
Yes, medications may be used to treat associated conditions like high cholesterol or to reduce liver inflammation in both conditions.
