Liver Disease treatment in Guwahati
Swagat Institute of Liver Transplant and Hepatobiliary Disease is one of the first one-stop provider of care for patients with disorders of liver and biliary system. The department of hepatology covers a wide spectrum of diseases including patients with both acute and chronic liver disease caused due to Alcohol, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, metabolic liver disease (Hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease) and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)/Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). Additionally, other liver and biliary disorders like Liver and biliary tumors and other disease like Biliary Duct Atresia, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis are also covered.
Liver Transplantation is a complex procedure not just from the surgical aspect of it but also because it requires a multidisciplinary approach which involves multiple specialities.
Liver Transplantation in India is a well evolved procedure. Most transplantations happen in cities like Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Kochi. Patients from far travel to these centres. While most living donor liver transplantations happen in the northern part of India, the Southern states perform more deceased donor transplantations and hardly any cases have been attempted in any centres of the north eastern states with the exception of only one centre in Assam that has done only two cases. Around 1000-1500 Liver transplantations happen in India every year.
In the NE part of India, there is lack of liver transplantation facilities. Swagat hospitals is now ready to fill in that lacuna to provide regular services to needy patient.
