Liver, Pancreas, and Biliary care

Liver, pancreas, and biliary care refer to a specialised area of healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders affecting the liver, pancreas, and biliary system. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body and is responsible for many critical functions such as filtering toxins from the blood, producing bile, and storing energy. The pancreas is a gland located behind the stomach that plays a key role in the digestive process by producing enzymes that break down food. The biliary system includes the bile ducts and gallbladder, which are responsible for transporting bile from the liver to the small intestine.
