Liver disease affects 1 in 5 Indians and is the 10th leading cause of death in Bangalore. About 10 lakh patients of liver cirrhosis are newly diagnosed in the city every year. This is because many of them suffer from liver issues without any obvious symptoms.

Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, known as one of the best liver hospitals in South Bangalore, provides comprehensive evaluation and management of all liver diseases, from common to the most complex ones, under one roof. We offer:
The common causes of liver disease include viral hepatitis (A, B, or C), fatty liver due to obesity or diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, excessive alcohol intake, autoimmune conditions, and certain medications.
Early stages of liver disease have almost no noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may experience unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or abdominal swelling.
At Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, we offer services such as liver function tests (LFTs), imaging studies like ultrasound and FibroScan, viral hepatitis screening, liver biopsy, nutritional counselling, and treatment for chronic liver disease and liver cancer.
Detecting liver diseases at an early stage paves the way for timely medical intervention. By identifying issues before they escalate, we can effectively prevent the progression to life-threatening complications, such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. Regular screening also helps monitor patients with existing liver conditions to ensure effective disease control.
Common lifestyle changes to prevent liver damage include avoiding alcohol, a balanced diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy body weight, and vaccination against hepatitis A and B.
Liver diseases are generally silent. Thus, to catch the liver disease early, in the inflammation and fibrosis stages, we need to have a dedicated liver clinic with a highly qualified hepatologist. If people are treated successfully at these stages, the liver may have a chance to heal itself and recover. The liver is an organ capable of immense regeneration & recovery. Expert management is thus pivotal in managing liver ailments.
