CLD

What is Chronic Liver Disease (CLD)?

Chronic Liver Disease is a progressive situation where long-term damage (from alcohol, viruses, or fat) leads to liver scarring (fibrosis), cirrhosis, and eventual organ failure. At Liver Surgeons, Delhi’s premier CLD treatment center, we focus on slowing disease progression, managing complications, and improving quality of life.

  • Alcohol: Heavy drinking damages liver cells, causing inflammation and fibrosis.
  • Hepatitis B/C: Chronic viral infections lead to cirrhosis over decades.
  • NAFLD/NASH: Fat buildup in the liver due to obesity/diabetes.
  • Autoimmune/Genetic Disorders: Conditions like autoimmune hepatitis or Wilson’s disease.

Chronic Liver Disease

Life-saving dual organ transplantation with 80% 5-year survival rates

Symptoms of CLD

Early detection saves lives. Watch for:

  • Persistent fatigue or weakness
  • Jaundice (yellow skin/eyes)
  • Swollen legs/abdomen (edema/ascites)
  • Easy bruising/bleeding
  • Confusion (hepatic encephalopathy)

Advanced Diagnosis

Liver Fibrosis Staging

  • FibroScan®: Non-invasive test to measure liver stiffness (stage F0-F4).
  • MRI Elastography: Detects early fibrosis in NAFLD patients.
  • Biopsy: Confirms cirrhosis or rules out cancer.

Portal Hypertension Evaluation

  • Endoscopy: Checks for esophageal varices (swollen veins).

CT Angiography: Maps blood flow abnormalities.

Chronic Liver Disease Treatment

1. Lifestyle Modifications

  • Alcohol Cessation: Critical for alcoholic CLD.
  • Weight Management: 5–10% weight loss reverses early NAFLD.
  • Low-Sodium Diet: Reduces ascites and swelling.

2. Medical Management

  • Antivirals: Tenofovir (hepatitis B), DAAs (hepatitis C).
  • Diuretics: Manage fluid retention (e.g., spironolactone).
  • Beta-Blockers: Prevent variceal bleeding (propranolol).

3. Advanced Interventions

  • TIPS Procedure: Reduces portal hypertension and bleeding risks.
  • Liver Transplant: For end-stage liver disease (MELD score ≥15).

Chronic Liver Disease FAQs

Early-stage fibrosis (F0-F2) can regress with alcohol cessation, weight loss, or antivirals. Cirrhosis (F4) is irreversible but manageable with proper medical care.

NAFLD stems from metabolic issues (obesity/diabetes); ALD from alcohol. Both cause fibrosis, but treatment differs – NAFLD needs lifestyle changes, while ALD requires complete abstinence.

Medications start at ₹5,000/month, while transplants can cost up to ₹35 lakhs. We provide EMI options and assist with insurance claims for comprehensive care.

We use beta-blockers, endoscopic variceal ligation, or TIPS procedures to reduce vein pressure and prevent life-threatening bleeding complications.

For end-stage liver disease with complications like ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or when MELD score reaches ≥15. Our transplant team evaluates each case individually.

Key recommendations include:
• Low sodium to reduce fluid retention
• High-quality plant-based proteins
• Complete alcohol avoidance
• Calorie control for NAFLD patients
Our nutritionists create personalized meal plans for liver repair.

Testing frequency depends on disease stage:
• Early CLD: Every 6 months
• Advanced cirrhosis: Every 3 months
We customize schedules based on your fibrosis stage and portal hypertension risks.

No. We primarily use non-invasive tools like FibroScan® and MRI elastography for staging. Biopsies are reserved for complex cases where imaging results are inconclusive.
