Advanced Liver Program
The Advanced Liver Program is staffed by nationally and internationally renowned hepatologists who work hard to develop novel treatments for more than 100 diseases known to affect the liver. Such a range of conditions requires an equally diverse group of specialists. Our specialists are equipped with experience, knowledge and clinical skills needed to ensure treatment success and advance treatment practices. Some of the most relevant conditions treated by the program include:
- Adult live donor right-lobe liver transplant
- Cholestatic liver diseases
- Hepatic encephalopathy
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
- Portal hypertension
- Viral hepatitis
Liver Transplant
Our physicians at the Hume-Lee Transplant Center are pioneers in both the treatment of liver diseases and liver transplantation. Their dedication to offering transplantation and other treatment options for those with End Stage Liver Disease is paramount to the successes at VCU Medical Center.
