Liver Disease & Hepatology Care
Specialized diagnosis and management of liver disease in Kingston, with modern equipment and warm, individual care. Liver problems are often silent until advanced — if you have a concern or an abnormal blood test, get tested early, when we can do the most to help.
Conditions We Treat
Chronic Hepatitis B & C — viral infection that inflames the liver; very treatable.
Autoimmune Hepatitis — the immune system attacks liver cells, causing inflammation.
Cirrhosis — advanced liver scarring from long-term damage.
Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) — fat build-up linked to metabolic factors.
Alcohol-Related Liver Disease — alcohol-related damage, often improvable with support.
Jaundice — yellowing of skin and eyes signalling a liver or bile problem.
Hemochromatosis — too much stored iron, which can damage the liver.
Primary Biliary Cholangitis — slow, long-term damage to the bile ducts.
