Growing Concerns About Liver Health in Today’s World

Liver disease has become a concern in recent years due to factors such as unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyle and the rising prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). As a result, more people are experiencing liver disease, many of which progress to end-stage liver failure requiring life-saving liver transplantation.

In fact, end-stage liver failure caused by liver cirrhosis, hepatitisor liver cancer has become one of the most serious problems in Indian healthcare. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical to prevent liver disease from progressing to the point where transplantation becomes the only option. However, many patients often fail to recognize liver problems until they reach advanced stages.

STAR Liver Institute’s mission: awareness, early diagnosis and affordable treatment

STAR Liver Institute strives to address this growing problem by raising awareness of the importance of liver health and educating people about the signs and symptoms of liver disease. The institute focuses on promoting early diagnosis, lifestyle changes and preventive care, encouraging the public to take proactive steps to maintain healthy liver function.

“We believe that educating the public about liver health and the risks associated with poor lifestyle choices is key to reducing the burden of liver disease in our country. At STAR Liver Institute, we strive to provide not only life-saving interventions but also educate people to lead healthier lifestyles,” said Dr. Gopichand Mannam, Managing Director, STAR Hospitals Group.

STAR Liver Institute offers comprehensive services, including:

– Advanced diagnosis of liver diseases, including non-invasive tests for early detection.

– Liver transplantation for patients suffering from end-stage liver failure.

The goal of the STAR Liver Institute is to ensure that liver treatment and transplantation services are accessible to everyone, including people from low-income families.

We now have the experience and infrastructure to achieve exceptional results with this procedure in the youngest children to the oldest adults. Our goal is not just to perform a successful transplant, but to do so safely, ethically and at an affordable price. We will provide families with the knowledge and resources they need to identify liver problems early and live healthier lives.

Dr. K. Ravindranathpioneer and father of liver transplantation in India and mentor of STAR Liver Institute, stated, “We lit the spark of liver transplantation in Hyderabad 24 years ago, at a time when only the super rich could afford to travel to the West. for this vital operation. Today, with nearly 200,000 people annually requiring liver transplants and only about 4,000 of them being performed, the access gap remains a critical issue. At STAR Hospitals Liver Institute, we want to ignite that spark and ensure that this treatment is available to everyone who needs it, so that no patient is denied a chance at a healthy future.
