Liver disease at Spire Claremont Hospital

Liver disease is an increasing problem in the UK.


Patients with advanced liver disease can become extremely unwell. However, if identified early enough, even small changes in lifestyle could help prevent significant liver disease.

Why you might need it

Many people with liver disease are unaware that they have it, as in its early stages there are few, if any, symptoms.

You may be at risk of liver disease if:

  • Have jaundice
  • You are overweight
  • Suffer from high blood pressure
  • Have diabetes
  • Consume a higher than recommended alcohol consumption
  • Have been exposed to certain viruses that can cause liver disease

People suffering from advanced liver disease can become unwell. If identified early, even small changes in lifestyle could help prevent significant liver disease.

Our patients are at the heart of what we do and we want you to be in control of your care. To us, that means you can choose the consultant you want to see, and when you want. They'll be with you every step of the way.

Before your treatment

You will have a formal consultation with a healthcare professional. During this time you will be able to explain your medical history, symptoms and raise any concerns that you might have.

We will also discuss with you whether any further diagnostic tests, such as scans or blood tests, are needed. Any additional costs will be discussed before further tests are carried out.

The procedure

We will carry out a full assessment including a full history, clinical examination and assessment of your risk of having liver disease. This may include a frank discussion about alcohol consumption, weight and other factors for liver disease.

Liver blood tests will be performed and, if necessary, a liver ultrasound scan, endoscopy or liver biopsy can be carried out to determine your level of risk. These will help us to assess the best treatment and management plan.
