Pediatric Hepatology

Pediatric Hepatology is a specialized branch of Pediatric Gastroenterology focused on diagnosing and treating liver-related conditions in children. It addresses a range of issues such as liver diseases, jaundice, and metabolic disorders that affect the liver's function. Pediatric hepatologists work closely with families to manage conditions that may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired, ensuring children receive appropriate care, support, and treatment. The goal is to promote healthy liver function and overall well-being in young patients, often involving both medical and dietary interventions tailored to their specific needs.
