Liver

The liver is the largest internal organ in the body. It performs important functions in many processes including metabolism, detoxification, digestion and immunity. Many liver diseases may not display any symptoms at first, often they may only appear in the advanced stages. If left untreated, these diseases can lead to liver failure and eventually death.  Find out more about your liver and the diseases that can affect it.

The doctors at Gleneagles Hospital are experienced in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of liver problems.

Pancreas

The pancreas, located right below the liver, is an endocrine gland responsible for creating digestive enzymes and important hormones, which helps to reduce the sugar level in your blood. The pancreas can often be affected by diseases in the liver and kidney, yet symptoms are often very slow to show. Find out more about your pancreas and pancreas diseases.

Gall Bladder and Bile Duct

The liver produces bile to aid in digestion. Bile is stored in the gall bladder and sent through the bile duct into the small intestines. Blockages in the gall bladder and bile duct can cause swelling in other organs like the pancreas, and cause serious damage to the liver. Gall bladder and bile duct diseases can cause serious damage over time, but they can also be treated effectively when diagnosed early.  Find out more about gall bladder and bile duct diseases.

As most HPB diseases tend to show few or no symptoms until they progress into more advanced stages, late detection can lead to serious health damage and even death.

Regular health screening is a good way to discover these problems early and is an important aspect of disease prevention. An extensive health screening includes tests that will cover major health concerns as well as the liver, pancreas, blood composition profile, and hepatitis A, B and C screening. It can also discover less obvious symptoms of other conditions, allowing the doctors to further investigate your condition. Find out more about the different tests available to discover and diagnose diseases of the liver, pancreas, gall bladder and bile duct.
