Reduction of Liver Cancer with Prevention of Hepatic Fibrosis, Liver Cirrhosis

The Center manages patients with viral hepatitis and provides antiviral therapies with the focus on prevention and treatment of liver cirrhosis complications and management of patients with chronic liver diseases for early diagnosis. In Korea, it has a high prevalence of chronic hepatitis B infection and the main cause of most liver failures is viral hepatitis, especially chronic hepatitis B infection. However, it is now considered that the rate of hepatitis C type will increase. Chronic liver damage leads to hepatic fibrosis and if the degree of hepatic fibrosis continues to increase, it eventually develops into cirrhosis. The number of patients with alcoholic liver disease and fatty liver is recently on the rise, showing that fatty liver is another main cause of liver disorders.

Education on Dietary and Lifestyle Changes for Hepatitis Patients

The Center not only provides care for patients with liver diseases but also distributes training materials and raise awareness of the importance of preventing hepatitis, while educating local residents on liver failures every year. In an open lecture, the hepatologist advises patients and their families and ordinary people on liver diseases and nutrition information for healthy liver, offering free screening test. The staff works hard to provide comprehensive treatment and management along with diagnosis and education on dietary and lifestyle changes for the increasing number of patients with alcohol liver disease and fatty liver.
