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 Viral Serology — the Cause Detected

The viral serology is cause-detection — the HBsAg for the HBV ( current-infection marker — fuller panel where resolved-vs-vaccinated-vs-active needs distinction), anti-HCV → RNA two-step for the HCV ( exposure antibody → the RNA for active-vs-cleared — ~25–30% self-clear).

The viral serology is first-layer — infection detected — viral cause identified where liver-function is elevated or at-risk screen applies.

HBsAg for HBV

The current-infection marker — screen.

Anti-HCV → RNA

The two-step — active-vs-cleared.

Fuller HBV Panel

Resolved vs vaccinated vs active — where needed.

Viral Cause Detected

The infection identified.

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.
