Furthermore, the Center maintains high quality standards of care through continuing medical education and training of health professionals. The Center also strives to advance the science and practice of liver disease management and transplantation by actively engaging in basic and clinical research. In terms of disease prevention, the Center is a staunch advocate of efforts directed to the prevention and early detection of liver disease.
The Center will cater specifically to advanced or complicated liver disease, especially advanced chronic liver disease that will lead to liver failure and/or develop complications related to portal hypertension, e.g. variceal bleeding, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, etc, requiring liver transplantation as the ultimate cure. Selected patients with hepatocellular carcinoma may also maximally benefit from liver transplantation. Acute liver failure, often requiring emergency liver transplantation, may also be managed by the Center. Tumors both benign and malignant particularly those that will require a multidisciplinary management approach, given the wide array of therapeutic options now available, may also be seen at the Center. Nonetheless the Center welcomes all forms of liver disease that may require its expert care.
