我们提供肝脏疾病检查和治疗

Our team provides a range of tests and 治疗 options to diagnose and care for patients with liver 疾病和其他条件. 我们提供:

肝炎检查: 我们用验血来诊断肝炎. 例如, we screen for hepatitis B using a blood test that looks for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBgAg).

药物治疗: Antiviral medicines may be 有效的治疗 for patients with hepatitis B or C. These medicines help to fight viruses and slow the progression of liver damage. Newer medicines may help people with hepatitis C clear the virus from their body.

化疗栓塞术: Patients with 肝癌 may benefit from chemoembolization. An interventional radiologist injects chemotherapy drugs directly into a tumor. Then they send a substance called an embolic agent inside the blood vessels that supply the tumor with blood. An embolic agent is a synthetic material that stops blood flow to the tumor.

射频消融术: 这是肝癌的另一种治疗方法. An interventional radiologist guides a needle with an electrode into the tumor. Then they send high-frequency energy through the electrode. 这种能量加热并摧毁癌细胞.

手术: Surgeons may operate to remove damaged tissue or tumors in the liver. Or they may perform a procedure called portacaval shunting. 在门静脉分流中, the surgeon creates a new connection between the portal vein, 什么向肝脏供血, 还有下腔静脉, 哪个从下半身排出血液. This directs blood away from the liver to treat portal hypertension, 门静脉压力增加. Redirecting blood flow away from the liver reduces the risk of the portal vein rupturing and causing serious bleeding.
