Clinical Services
Texas Liver Institute providers manage patients with all forms of liver disease including viral hepatitis, cholestatic disease, autoimmune and fatty liver disease as well as patients diagnosed with cirrhosis and liver cancer. In addition to general hepatology care, those patients in need of more advanced care will undergo pre and post-transplant assessment. These assessments will be done within our Austin facility and coordinated with the University Transplant Center in San Antonio. Our facility is equipped with advanced technology that includes elastography, which is a non-invasive method of measuring liver stiffness. Our goal is to provide excellence in care while minimizing the inconveniences of travel.
