Cirrhosis Treatment in West Hospital
About the clinic
West Hospital in Baku, Azerbaijan, provides medical care for patients with cirrhosis and chronic liver diseases. The gastroenterology department focuses on managing liver scarring and preventing dangerous complications like internal bleeding. Care is led by Dr. Habil Hüseynov, a specialist in hepatology and advanced endoscopic procedures.
Advanced diagnostics for liver health
The hospital uses precise imaging and laboratory testing to track liver damage. Doctors use the Canon Aquilion Prime SP 160 CT and the Siemens Magnetom Avanto 1.5T MRI for detailed scans. These tools help identify liver nodules, fluid buildup, or blood vessel changes. Diagnostic options include:
- Laboratory tests. Blood work checks liver function and screens for viral markers like hepatitis B, C, and D.
- Gastroscopy. This procedure allows the doctor to see the lining of the esophagus and stomach.
- Colonoscopy. A visual exam used to check the health of the lower intestinal tract.
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). This combines endoscopy with ultrasound to get images of the liver and surrounding organs.
Treatment and complication management
Treatment focuses on slowing the disease and managing symptoms such as ascites or jaundice. Dr. Habil Hüseynov performs specialized procedures to treat bile duct issues and prevent life-threatening bleeding. The clinic operates 24 specialized departments to support patients throughout their care.
- Cirrhosis management. This includes medical therapy with diuretics to reduce fluid and beta-blockers for heart health.
- Endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy. This procedure treats swollen veins in the esophagus to prevent or stop bleeding.
- ERCP. Doctors use this technique to find and treat obstructions in the bile ducts that may worsen liver health.
- Viral hepatitis treatment. The medical team provides targeted therapy for hepatitis B, C, and D to prevent further liver damage.
Patients at West Hospital receive care in a facility equipped for both routine monitoring and emergency endoscopic interventions. You can request a consultation for liver care through the Bookimed platform.
