At the Centre for Liver Research and Diagnostics, we take pride in our extensive and impactful contributions to the field of liver disease research. With a portfolio of 71 scholarly publications, our work reflects a deep and sustained commitment to advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide spectrum of hepatic conditions.
Our research has consistently focused on both clinical and experimental investigations, addressing critical challenges in hepatology. A significant area of our work has been the study of amoebic liver abscess, where we have pioneered diagnostic approaches such as liver scans and serial liver imaging. These efforts have significantly enhanced diagnostic precision and provided valuable insights into disease progression and therapeutic outcomes.
We have also made notable strides in the study of viral hepatitis, particularly acute viral hepatitis. Our double-blind clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of the herbal formulation LIV-52 stands as a testament to our early and ongoing interest in integrating traditional medicine with modern clinical practices. This integrative approach underscores our commitment to exploring complementary therapies that are both effective and culturally relevant.
Our investigations extend to the impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on liver health. For example, our research into liver pathology among chronic gudumba (illicit liquor) consumers has brought attention to the hepatotoxic risks associated with unregulated alcohol use, highlighting a pressing public health concern in specific socio-economic contexts.
The recurring presence of terms such as liver, hepatic, and hepatitis across our publications reflects the comprehensive scope of our research, which spans both infectious and non-infectious liver diseases. Furthermore, our work includes studies on liver transplantation and regenerative strategies, demonstrating our engagement with advanced therapeutic interventions.
Through a blend of foundational science and applied clinical research, the Centre continues to contribute meaningfully to the field of hepatology. Our legacy is one of scientific rigor, innovation, and societal relevance, driven by a mission to improve patient outcomes and public health.
