Liver disease care at Mayo Clinic

  • Your Mayo Clinic care team. At Mayo Clinic, a multidisciplinary team of specialists work together to evaluate and treat each person. Specialists in gastroenterology and hepatology and liver transplant at Mayo Clinic diagnose and treat adults with liver disease. The Hepatobiliary Clinic and specialists in the Liver Transplant Interest Group help coordinate care. The Hyperoxaluria Center specializes in researching and treating a condition called oxalosis that sometimes requires a kidney and liver transplant.

    Specialists in pediatric hepatology and liver transplant diagnose and treat children with liver disease.

  • Advanced diagnosis and treatment. You'll have access to the latest technology and specialized techniques to improve diagnosis and care at Mayo Clinic.

    Mayo Clinic researchers invented a new, noninvasive way to detect hardening of the liver. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) combines MRI imaging with sound waves to create a visual map (elastogram) showing the stiffness of liver tissue. At Mayo Clinic, MRE may be done as part of a conventional MRI exam for liver disease.

  • Care focused on you. Mayo Clinic team members work together closely in planning each person's care. This collaboration means your appointments will be coordinated and your test results will be ready quickly. Evaluation and treatment that might take months elsewhere can typically be done in only a matter of days at Mayo Clinic.
