What is Hepatology?
“Hepat” stands for Liver. Hepat- comes from the Greek hêpar, meaning “liver.”It is often used in medical terms. So a doctor who treats diseases that deals with liver, gallbladder, pancreas and bile duct is known as hepatologist.
Hepatology is a field that has emerged from gastroenterology. While some gastroenterology departments still house hepatology, the more liver-focused hepatology has begun to make a name for itself as an autonomous specialty with its own subspecialties. Hepatology is still in the process of establishing itself as an independent medical specialty and since the separation from gastroenterology is still in progress, many training/fellowship programs combine hepatology alongside gastroenterology.
