LIVER CARE:
Metabolic Health Consultation
Fatty liver disease is emerging as the dominant driver of chronic liver disease and liver transplantation. Fatty liver is closely-associated with the metabolic syndrome, which encompasses conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Understanding liver health is an important component of metabolic health awareness and risk stratification.
As part of a metabolic health consultation, we will perform a liver Fibroscan® which will provide information like liver fat content and inform us as to whether there is liver scarring. We will evaluate this together with other health issues and investigations, and will provide targeted recommendations.
