Liver transplantation

Liver transplantation is a complex and potentially life-saving operation that can cure serious liver diseases. Liver transplantation is the only solution in cases of liver failure.

End-stage liver disease

All types of liver disease can develop into advanced pathology, with complications of varying degrees of severity, requiring rapid, specific treatment.

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. The majority of HCCs are associated with chronic liver disease due to chronic viral hepatitis, excessive alcohol consumption or metabolic disease.

Addiction and the liver

Liver diseases linked to addiction (alcohol, drug use) represent a major public health issue. Understanding, treating and developing appropriate treatments requires specific support for these often vulnerable patients.

Liver Metabolism – MASLD

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most widespread chronic liver disease and continues to increase.

Viral Liver Disease

Viral liver diseases are caused by 5 main types of viruses (A, B, C, D and E). Although these viruses all cause liver disease, the severity, course and treatments depend on the virus.
