Liver Health & Hepatitis in Kathmandu
- Viral serology — the HBsAg, anti-HCV → RNA.
- Liver function — the LFT — the ALT/AST pattern.
- Carrier staged — the HBV active vs inactive.
- Complete picture — viral-plus-liver.
Liver Health & Hepatitis — the Complete Assessment
Liver health and hepatitis testing is complete assessment — viral serology (the HBsAg for the HBV — current-infection; anti-HCV → RNA two-step for the HCV — active-vs-cleared) plus liver-function assessment (the LFT — the ALT/AST pattern — hepatocellular vs cholestatic — hepatitis being hepatocellular pattern; imaging where chronic produced fibrosis/cirrhosis).
The complete picture is viral-plus-liver — infection detected plus liver-function assessed — hepatitis being viral-cause-on-liver, the LFT being liver-damage-marker, staging being chronic-carrier-assessed.
The honest framing: liver-health-plus-hepatitis is complete work-up — viral serology detecting cause, liver-function assessing damage, staging informing management — complete picture producing correct management.
The Liver Function — the Damage Assessed
The liver function is damage-assessment — the LFT (the ALT/AST — hepatocellular pattern hepatitis produces; bilirubin, the ALP — cholestatic different-pattern; albumin, the INR — synthetic-function where advanced) — liver-damage-marker.
The LFT is liver-health assessment — pattern read ( hepatocellular the ALT/AST-predominant — viral hepatitis common-cause; cholestatic the ALP/bilirubin-predominant — different-cause) — pattern informing work-up.
ALT/AST
The hepatocellular pattern — hepatitis produces.
Bilirubin/ALP
The cholestatic — different-pattern.
Albumin/INR
The synthetic-function — where advanced.
Pattern Read
The LFT-pattern informing cause.
The Staging — the Carrier & the Damage
The staging is carrier-and-damage: the HBV carrier staged ( active vs inactive — by the HBeAg, viral load, the LFT — management by stage), the HCV active assessed ( viral load plus liver-function — curable staged), and liver-damage staged ( fibrosis/cirrhosis assessed — imaging where chronic produced).
The staging is management-determining — active-HBV suppression, inactive monitoring; active-HCV curative; advanced-liver specialist-referral.
HBV Carrier Staged
The active vs inactive — management by stage.
HCV Active Assessed
The curable — the ~8–12wk DAA.
Liver Damage Staged
The fibrosis/cirrhosis — imaging where warranted.
Staging Determines
The management by stage.
The Complete Liver Health Service
The complete service: confidential consultation determines correct work-up ( viral serology plus liver-function plus staging where warranted), correctly-timed testing produces reliable answer, result is interpreted ( viral-cause plus liver-damage plus stage), and where positive management is at same service (the HBV monitored/suppressed, the HCV cured — ~95%+ SVR12).
The complete-picture is liver-health-plus-hepatitis — viral-plus-liver — complete work-up producing correctly-managed.
Viral + Liver
The serology plus the LFT plus staging.
HBV Staged
The suppression or monitoring.
HCV Cured
The ~8–12wk DAA — ~95%+ SVR12.
Complete Pathway
The work-up → management at same service.
