Medicover Hospital Introduces Comprehensive Liver Clinic for Early Detection and Management of Liver Diseases
Catering to individuals at risk of fatty liver, hepatitis, alcohol-related liver disease, and metabolic disorders, the new Liver Clinic provides structured screening, advanced diagnostics, and personalised care for long-term liver health
With liver-related conditions such as fatty liver disease, hepatitis, alcohol-related liver damage, and metabolic liver disorders on the rise, Medicover Hospital has launched a Comprehensive Liver Clinic in Navi Mumbai.The clinic aims to support early detection, timely intervention, and long-term management of liver diseases through a structured screening and diagnostic approach.
Currently, due to diabetes, obesity, hypothyroidism, sedentary habits, alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis B and C, autoimmune liver disease, and family history of liver disorders, the risk of liver damage is increasing. Many individuals remain asymptomatic in early stages, and the disease is often detected late when complications such as liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver failure have already begun to develop. If ignored, liver conditions can silently progress and severely impact overall health and quality of life.
Dr Vikram Dharap, Consultant Gastroenterologist, Hepatologist, and Therapeutic Endoscopist said, The Liver Clinic provides a comprehensive and systematic approach to liver health evaluation. It focuses on identifying high-risk individuals through targeted screening, detailed clinical assessment, and advanced diagnostic tests. The clinic offers structured care pathways that help detect liver disease at an early stage and prevent progression to advanced liver damage. The screening program is especially recommended for individuals with diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypothyroidism, alcohol use, hepatitis B or C infection, family history of liver disease, and autoimmune liver conditions. The clinic also focuses on preventive liver health in selected high-risk patients.
Diagnostic services at the clinic include FibroScan of the liver, Liver Function Tests (LFT), Complete Blood Count (CBC), Triple marker testing (as indicated), and Ultrasound abdomen for selected patients. These investigations help in assessing liver fat accumulation, inflammation, fibrosis, and overall liver function.
Dr Dipak Ahire Consultant Gastroenterologist, Hepatologist & Endoscopist said, “Liver diseases are often silent in the early stages, which is why many patients come to us only when the condition has already progressed. Risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, thyroid disorders, alcohol intake, viral hepatitis, and genetic predisposition significantly increase the chances of liver damage. Through this dedicated Liver Clinic, we aim to identify at-risk individuals early and provide timely intervention before irreversible damage occurs. Early screening and lifestyle correction play a crucial role in preventing serious complications like cirrhosis and liver failure.”
Dr Rao Saheb Rathod, Consultant Gastroenterologist, Hepatologist & Therapeutic Endoscopist added, “Many liver conditions are preventable and manageable if detected at the right time. At the Liver Clinic, we follow a structured approach that includes advanced diagnostics like FibroScan, liver function assessment, and imaging studies where required. Along with prompt treatment, we also focus on lifestyle modification, dietary guidance, and regular monitoring. Our goal is not only to treat liver disease but also to prevent its progression and improve long-term liver health outcomes for patients.”
“As metabolic and lifestyle-related liver conditions continue to increase, the need for early screening and focused care is more important than ever. Through the launch of this Liver Clinic, Medicover Hospital is committed to providing accessible, expert-led services that help individuals detect liver disease early and maintain healthier lives,” concluded oncluded Sandip Joshi (Centre Head), Medicover Hospitals, Navi Mumbai.
