Cirrhosis and Liver Failure Care

Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease that results from damage to liver tissue, which causes scarring and impairs liver function. Liver failure, on the other hand, occurs when the liver is no longer able to perform its vital functions. Both conditions are caused by a variety of factors, including chronic alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
At Progress Gastro Care, we provide comprehensive care for patients with cirrhosis and liver failure. Our multidisciplinary team of hepatologists, gastroenterologists, transplant surgeons, and other specialists work together to diagnose and manage these complex conditions. We utilise the latest technology and innovative treatments, including medications, endoscopic procedures, and liver transplantation, to provide the most effective and personalised care for our patients.
Our goal is to improve the quality of life for patients with cirrhosis and liver failure by managing their symptoms, preventing complications, and slowing the progression of the disease. We also offer nutritional counselling and support services to help our patients manage their conditions and achieve the best possible outcomes.

Treatments offered
A few common treatments offered for cirrhosis and liver failure at Progress Gastro Care include:
  • Medications: Prescription drugs may be used to treat the underlying cause of cirrhosis or liver failure, such as antiviral drugs for viral hepatitis or steroids for autoimmune hepatitis.
  • Endoscopic procedures: Endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of liver conditions. It involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera and tools through the mouth or anus to examine the liver, take biopsies, and treat bleeding varices.
  • Liver transplantation: In cases of advanced liver disease or liver failure, a liver transplant may be necessary. During this procedure, a healthy liver from a donor is transplanted into the patient’s body to replace the diseased liver.
  • Nutritional counselling: A registered dietitian can help you develop a meal plan that is tailored to your specific needs and dietary restrictions, to help manage symptoms and support liver function.
  • Lifestyle changes: Changes to your diet, exercise routine, and stress management can help improve liver health and prevent complications.
  • Support services: We offer a range of support services to help patients and their families cope with the emotional and practical aspects of cirrhosis and liver failure care, including counselling, support groups, and educational resources.
