What Is Liver Cirrhosis?

Liver cirrhosis is a medical condition where the liver, an essential organ responsible for detoxifying the blood and aiding digestion, becomes scarred and damaged due to prolonged inflammation. This scarring, or fibrosis, leads to the formation of nodules that replace healthy liver tissue, ultimately impairing the liver's ability to function properly. As liver cirrhosis progresses, it can lead to liver failure, a condition where the liver is no longer able to perform its vital functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion.

Why Kenyan Patients Choose India for Liver Cirrhosis Treatment

For Kenyan patients, seeking liver cirrhosis treatment in India offers several benefits, including:
  • World-class medical facilities and expertise
  • State-of-the-art technology and equipment
  • Highly trained and experienced medical professionals
  • Affordable treatment costs
  • Easy travel arrangements and logistics
India has emerged as a leading medical tourism destination, attracting patients from around the world, including Kenya. The country's medical tourism industry offers a wide range of treatment options, including liver transplantation, TIPS procedure, and EVBL procedure, all of which are available at a significantly lower cost compared to treatment in Kenya.

Treatment Options Available in India

At MediBridge Healthcare, we offer the following treatment options for liver cirrhosis:

Liver Transplantation

Liver transplantation is a life-saving surgery where a diseased liver is replaced with a healthy liver from a living or deceased donor. This procedure is the definitive treatment for end-stage liver cirrhosis and liver failure. Our team of experienced surgeons and medical professionals will guide you through the entire process, ensuring that you receive the best possible care.

TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt)

TIPS is a minimally invasive procedure where a channel is created in the liver to connect the portal vein to a hepatic vein using a stent. This procedure helps reduce portal hypertension and its complications in liver cirrhosis. Our experienced interventional radiologists will perform the procedure using state-of-the-art technology and equipment.

Endoscopic Variceal Band Ligation (EVBL)

EVBL is a non-surgical endoscopic procedure used to control or prevent bleeding from esophageal varices (enlarged veins) caused by portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis. Our experienced gastroenterologists will perform the procedure using advanced endoscopic equipment.
