Liver diseases are steadily rising across the country due to lifestyle changes, unhealthy diets, alcohol consumption, obesity, diabetes, and viral infections such as hepatitis B and C. Common liver diseases include fatty liver disease, hepatitis (A, B, or C), liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. Many people ignore early symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, nausea, swelling in the abdomen or legs, and yellowing of the skin and eyes. If left untreated, these conditions can progress to serious complications such as liver failure or liver cancer. Early diagnosis and timely medical intervention play a crucial role in preventing severe health outcomes.
Dr Anurag Shrimal, Director – Liver Transplant at Gleneagles Hospital, Parel, said, “Liver transplantation today offers a second chance at life for many patients suffering from end-stage liver disease and other complex liver conditions. With advancements in surgical techniques and transplant medicine, we are now able to offer a wide range of transplant options, including living donor liver transplantation, ABO-incompatible transplants, split liver transplantation, pediatric liver transplants, and robotic-assisted procedures. Through this collaboration with Bombay Hospital, Indore, our aim is to make expert evaluation and guidance more accessible for patients in Central India.
