Hepatic fibrosis is the formation of scar tissue in the liver as a response to chronic liver injury. Over time, this scarring can lead to reduced liver function and, if left untreated, may progress to cirrhosis. While early-stage fibrosis may not cause symptoms, advanced stages can lead to various signs of liver dysfunction.
Seek medical attention if you experience:
Our specialists conduct a thorough review of symptoms to assess the stage of liver fibrosis and any impact on overall health.
We evaluate your medical history, including any chronic liver conditions, lifestyle factors, medication use, and family history of liver disease.
Diagnostic tools such as liver function tests, blood tests (e.g., for liver enzymes), imaging studies, and liver biopsy may be recommended to confirm fibrosis and determine its severity.

Hepatic Fibrosis can indicate various underlying conditions, including digestive disorders, infections, inflammation, or more serious health concerns requiring medical evaluation.
Symptoms may include discomfort, pain, bloating, nausea, changes in bowel habits, or other digestive issues, depending on the underlying cause.
Diagnosis involves a physical examination, patient history review, lab tests, imaging, and sometimes specialized procedures to determine the exact cause.
Treatment may include medications, dietary modifications, lifestyle changes, hydration, stress management, or surgical intervention based on severity.
Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, managing stress, regular exercise, avoiding known triggers, and routine medical check-ups help prevent Hepatic Fibrosis.
