Liver Care

The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body and regulates your metabolism by processing what you eat and distributing energy in various forms to other cells in the body. If you're not proactive in care for your liver, you may notice symptoms that your liver is not working like it should.

At University Health in San Antonio, our hepatologists diagnose and treat a full spectrum of liver conditions. From viral hepatitis to liver cancer, you can trust our care team to work together to restore and protect your liver health.

When you are diagnosed with a liver condition, your hepatology care team may include gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, dietitians, oncologists, transplant surgeons and others.

Together, our multidisciplinary care team will provide you the highest level of comprehensive care and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
