Pediatric Hematology
Pediatric hepatology specializes in diagnosing and treating digestive tract and liver disorders in children and teenagers. This field addresses structural, infectious, inborn metabolic abnormalities, and autoimmune liver diseases. Pediatric hepatologists operate in specialized centers, offering tertiary and national hepatology services. They manage conditions like acute and chronic liver failure, collaborating with transplant programs to care for liver and small bowel transplant recipients. The focus of pediatric hepatology is to provide comprehensive care to young individuals with various liver-related issues.
