Medicinal Treatment
Treat underlying causes, manage symptoms, prevent further liver damage, and slow disease progression.
- Antiviral medications for specific types of viral hepatitis (e.g., Hepatitis B and C) to suppress the virus and prevent liver damage.
- Medications to manage symptoms such as itching (pruritus), fluid retention (ascites), or fatigue associated with liver disease.
- Immunosuppressive drugs for autoimmune liver diseases like Primary Biliary Cholangitis to modulate the immune response.
- Supportive therapies and supplements to aid liver function, manage complications, and address nutritional deficiencies.

Surgical Treatment
Replace a severely damaged liver, restore liver function, and improve quality of life for end-stage liver disease or remove cancerous growths.
- Liver transplant for severe liver damage and scarring (cirrhosis) when other medical treatments are no longer effective and the liver fails.
- Procedures to manage specific complications of cirrhosis, such as endoscopic interventions for variceal bleeding or shunt placement.
- Surgical removal of liver tumors (hepatectomy) in cases of primary liver cancer or metastatic disease, where appropriate.
