Liver Disease Care

Living with liver disease requires a partnership that includes you and liver experts who understand your condition.

The Liver Center at UC San Diego Health is the region's leader in the treatment of acute and chronic liver diseases.

Our goal is to slow, stop and cure these conditions so they do not become more serious medical illnesses. At our liver disease clinics, liver specialists work with you to closely monitor and manage your condition.

Conditions such as viral hepatitis B or C, fatty liver disease, autoimmune liver disease and hemochromatosis can increase the risk of developing cirrhosis and liver cancer.Learn About Our Expertise in Liver Cancer Care
