What diseases can be treated abroad?
Liver diseases are insidious in that they proceed without any symptoms for many years, and after their onset, the pathology is at an advanced stage and is difficult to treat. However, even in the early stages, the disease can be detected using ultrasound scans and laboratory diagnostics. Doctors abroad strive to timely detect signs of liver lesions. However, even when patients with severe forms of disease are treated, hepatologists achieve good results since they have the most modern therapeutic methods in their arsenal.
Hepatology departments in foreign countries successfully treat the following conditions:
- viral hepatitis;
- toxic, alcoholic, autoimmune, and other hepatitis;
- non-alcoholic fatty liver disease;
- liver fibrosis and cirrhosis;
- liver echinococcosis;
- liver metastases and liver cancer;
- benign tumors and vascular liver neoplasms;
- liver failure;
- gallstone disease;
- cholestatic syndrome;
- hepatic encephalopathy;
- hepatolienal syndrome;
- edematous-ascitic syndrome;
- portal hypertension;
- primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Treatment methods for liver diseases abroad
Hepatologists use conservative methods to treat liver diseases. They can also perform minimally invasive percutaneous or endoscopic procedures.
The following methods can be used abroad for treating liver diseases:
- drug therapy;
- endoscopic procedures such as papillosphincterotomy and biliary stent implantation;
- percutaneous procedures, for example, to divert bile or abscess puncture;
- PAIR procedure for cystic echinococcosis: parasites are killed with alcohol, and then the contents of the cyst are sucked out through a needle;
- ablation (radiofrequency and microwave) to destroy liver tumors;
- high-intensity focused ultrasound can be used for non-invasive destruction of pathological neoplasms in the liver, including cancer metastases;
- stem cell therapy is effective for fibrosis and liver cirrhosis.
Why is it worth undergoing treatment abroad?
Hepatology departments abroad offer high-precision diagnostics, non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment, as well as modern drug therapy. Doctors use ultrasound examinations, CT and MRI scans, and hepatic scintigraphy to diagnose liver diseases. They strive to minimize the risks to the patient’s health, so the specialists avoid procedures that could cause any complications. For example, non-invasive MR cholangiography is increasingly being used instead of cholangiopancreatography.
Minimally invasive procedures are performed instead of operations. For example, cystic echinococcosis is treated by aspiration. When treating vascular masses and tumors, percutaneous and endovascular procedures are performed instead of major surgery.
The latest medicines are used abroad that help to achieve excellent results in treating liver diseases. For example, they help to cure viral hepatitis with a 95% probability. Some hospitals use stem cells to restore the function of a severely damaged liver.
