Hepatology

Hepatology

Owing to its focus on organs impacted by hepatic disorders, hepatology differs from other specialized disciplines of medicine. The liver, pancreas, gall bladder, and biliary tract comprise of the hepatic system. Because it involves portions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, Hepatology is associated to gastroenterology. Because both specialties include some of the same organs, hepatology is frequently considered a branch of gastroenterology. While a gastroenterologist can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of similar diseases, a hepatologist's focus is narrower.
