Hepatology

Hepatology

Hepatology differs from other specialized medical disciplines in that it focuses on organs affected by hepatic disorders. The hepatic system is made up of the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and biliary tract. Hepatology is related to gastroenterology because it involves parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Hepatology is frequently considered a subspecialty of gastroenterology because they both involve some of the same organs. A gastroenterologist can help with the diagnosis and treatment of similar diseases, but a hepatologist has a narrower focus.
