Hepatology

The hepatology unit is one of the largest in Australia and is a diverse team of experienced doctors and nurses who specialise in diagnosing and treating liver disorders. These include viral hepatitis (Hepatitis B and C), autoimmune liver diseases, fatty liver, genetic liver diseases (haemochromatosis and Wilsons disease) and hepatocellular cancer (primary liver cancer). We also provide multi- disciplinary care to both inpatients and outpatients with established liver cirrhosis.

The unit is committed to excellence in patient care and clinical and laboratory research. Many of our members are actively involved in academic research in basic sciences and clinical trials, and more recently in innovative tools such as artificial intelligence to guide management.  We have strong collaborative relationships with Monash University, The Prince Henry’s Institute, The Hudson Institute, The Melbourne Liver Group, The Australian Liver Association and industry and government.
