Track 2: Hepatology 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition October 12–14, 2026 | Dubai, UAE & Online

 

Introduction

Hepatology is a rapidly evolving medical specialty dedicated to the study, diagnosis, prevention, and management of liver-related diseases. As liver disorders continue to rise globally due to lifestyle changes, viral infections, and metabolic conditions, hepatology has become a critical focus area in modern healthcare. Track 2: Hepatology at the 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition provides a global platform for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to exchange knowledge, innovations, and best practices in liver health.

What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the digestive system and its disorders. It includes the study of organs such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bile ducts. Hepatology is a specialized sub-discipline of gastroenterology, concentrating specifically on liver, biliary, and pancreatic diseases.

Body Parts Involved in Hepatology

Hepatology primarily deals with:

·         Liver – Responsible for detoxification, metabolism, and protein synthesis

·         Gallbladder – Stores and concentrates bile

·         Bile Ducts – Transport bile from the liver to the intestine

·         Pancreas (Hepatobiliary aspect) – Plays a role in digestion and metabolism

These organs work together to maintain metabolic balance and digestive health.

Common Hepatology Problems

Liver-related disorders range from mild to life-threatening conditions, including:

·         Fatty liver disease (NAFLD & MAFLD)

·         Viral hepatitis (Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E)

·         Liver cirrhosis

·         Alcohol-related liver disease

·         Autoimmune liver diseases

·         Liver cancer (Hepatocellular carcinoma)

·         Biliary tract disorders

Early diagnosis remains a major challenge, as many liver diseases are asymptomatic in initial stages.

Solutions and Advances in Hepatology

Modern hepatology emphasizes early detection, preventive care, and personalized treatment approaches. Key solutions include:

·         Advanced imaging and non-invasive diagnostic tools

·         Antiviral therapies and immunomodulatory treatments

·         Lifestyle modification and metabolic management

·         Liver transplantation and regenerative medicine

·         AI-driven diagnostics and precision hepatology

Global collaboration and continuous medical education play a vital role in improving patient outcomes.

Types of Liver Diseases

Liver diseases can be classified into:

·         Infectious – Viral hepatitis

·         Metabolic – Fatty liver disease

·         Autoimmune – Autoimmune hepatitis, PBC, PSC

·         Genetic – Wilson’s disease, Hemochromatosis

·         Toxic – Drug-induced and alcohol-related liver injury

·         Malignant – Primary and secondary liver cancers

Understanding these types helps in targeted treatment and prevention strategies.

Effects of Liver Diseases

Untreated liver disorders can lead to severe complications such as:

·         Liver failure

·         Portal hypertension

·         Ascites and variceal bleeding

·         Encephalopathy

·         Increased mortality and reduced quality of life

Beyond physical health, liver diseases also impose psychological, social, and economic burdens on patients and healthcare systems.

Conclusion

Track 2: Hepatology highlights the importance of advancing liver care through research, innovation, and global knowledge exchange. The 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition serves as a vital forum to address emerging challenges, share cutting-edge therapies, and shape the future of hepatology. By fostering collaboration across disciplines, this track aims to improve liver health outcomes worldwide and strengthen the global response to liver disease.
