Conditions We Treat at the UPMC Center for Liver Diseases

Liver diseases are typically progressive. This means they often require individualized care from onset through advanced-stage disease.

At the UPMC Center for Liver Diseases, our hepatologists provide seamless care — and will be your single point of contact — throughout the progression of your disease.

With a focus on early diagnosis and timely intervention, the UPMC liver disease team has extensive experience in treating all kinds of conditions.

Some of the liver conditions we treat include:

• Alcoholic liver disease
• Alpha-1 antritrypsin deficiency
• Cirrhosis of the liver and it's complications (refractory ascites, hydrothorax, hepatic encephalopathy, and GI bleeding secondary to esophageal/gastric varices)
• Fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
• Autoimmune hepatitis
• Hepatitis B
• Hepatitis C
• Hepatocellular carcinoma
• Hereditary hemochromatosis
• Portal hypertension and its complications
• Primary biliary cirrhosis
• Primary sclerosing cholangitis
• Tumors of the liver (hemangioma, adenoma, and focal nodular hyperplasia)
• Wilson’s disease

In each of these areas, we coordinate our liver disease care with other UPMC specialists to provide the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your needs.
