Dr. Iqbal Nabi Qureshi specializes in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of liver cirrhosis and chronic liver disease, offering comprehensive care to patients with these complex conditions.
Understanding Liver Cirrhosis: Liver cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic alcoholism. Each time your liver is injured, it tries to repair itself. In the process, scar tissue forms. As the cirrhosis progresses, more and more scar tissue forms, making it difficult for the liver to function.
Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Qureshi conducts a comprehensive evaluation to assess the underlying causes and extent of liver damage in patients with cirrhosis or chronic liver disease. This may involve reviewing medical history, performing physical examinations, and ordering diagnostic tests such as blood tests, imaging studies, or liver biopsy to determine the severity and stage of liver disease.
Treatment Options: Treatment for liver cirrhosis and chronic liver disease focuses on managing symptoms, slowing disease progression, and preventing complications. This may involve lifestyle modifications (such as abstaining from alcohol, maintaining a healthy diet, and exercising regularly), medications to manage symptoms and complications (such as diuretics, beta-blockers, or antiviral drugs), and interventions to address specific liver-related issues (such as endoscopic procedures for variceal bleeding or liver transplant for end-stage liver disease).

FAQs
Liver cirrhosis and chronic liver disease can result from various causes, including chronic hepatitis B or C infection, chronic alcohol consumption, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), autoimmune liver diseases (such as autoimmune hepatitis or primary biliary cholangitis), genetic disorders (such as hemochromatosis or Wilson's disease), and certain medications or toxins. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for guiding treatment decisions and preventing disease progression.
Symptoms of liver cirrhosis and chronic liver disease can vary depending on the stage and severity of the disease but may include fatigue, weakness, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), abdominal swelling (ascites), easy bruising or bleeding, itching, confusion or difficulty concentrating (hepatic encephalopathy), and spider-like blood vessels on the skin (spider angiomas). Early detection and management of symptoms are crucial for improving outcomes and quality of life for patients with liver disease.
In the early stages, liver damage from cirrhosis and chronic liver disease may be reversible with appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications. However, advanced liver cirrhosis may lead to irreversible scarring and loss of liver function. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms, preventing complications, and slowing disease progression to preserve liver function and improve quality of life. Dr. Qureshi works with patients to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.
