Hepatology
Our main goal is the complete diagnostic, clinical, imaging, laboratory and therapeutic coverage especially of patients with chronic liver diseases, such as:
We approach each patient interdisciplinary, without unnecessary movements or delays.
The Hepatology Clinic of the Hospital is in continuous cooperation with other departments that provide direct support for the proper treatment of the patient. The Clinic is supported by the Gastroenterology, Surgery and Radiology departments, as well as by other necessary structures of the Hospital, whenever there is a need. Using modern knowledge and techniques, and with state-of-the-art equipment, we treat each patient consistently and responsibly.
Diseases of the liver, bile ducts and pancreas are an area of medicine which, in recent years, shows excellent progress, both at a diagnostic and therapeutic level. The Hepatology Department of St. Luke's Hospital operates in accordance with international academic and scientific standards and covers the entire range of acute and chronic diseases of the liver and bile ducts.
In particular, the Hepatology Clinic deals with the prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of:
In collaboration with the clinic's laboratories, all kinds of laboratory tests can be performed:
In collaboration with other medical specialties, such as interventional radiologists and specialised surgeons in diseases of the liver, bile ducts and pancreas, the following are treated:
The evolution of Hepatology in modern medical practice is remarkable, giving a tangible perspective to patients with "unsolved" until before some chronic health problems.
Thanks to the innovative pharmacological treatment of viral hepatitis and, specifically, hepatitis C, it is possible to eradicate the virus in 96% of cases with only two-month pharmacotherapy, without any particular side effects.
Furthermore, chronic hepatitis B, which is quite common in Greece, is treated with great adequacy nowadays, since with proper staging of the disease, both pharmacological treatment and proper monitoring of patients are safe to avoid complications and unwanted progression of the disease.
Apart from the therapeutic developments, the hepatological diagnostics is making remarkable progress. Through non-invasive diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis, liver biopsy is only necessary in some cases, with overall great clinical benefit for the patient.
In addition, both the diagnosis and the therapeutic handling of liver cirrhosis in collaboration with interventional radiology have a huge evolution and have led to a clear improvement in the life expectancy and quality of life of patients.
The interdisciplinary staffing of the Clinic includes specialised doctors
Scientific Coordinator of the Hepatological Diseases Clinic is Georgios Grammatikos, Assistant Professor at the University of Frankfurt.
