Liver and Biliary Disorders
Diagnosis and Management of Liver, Gallbladder, and Bile Duct Conditions
The liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts play essential roles in digestion and detoxification. When something goes wrong in this system — whether due to infection, inflammation, or obstruction — early diagnosis and intervention are key.
At Dr. HR Schneider’s practice in Parktown, Johannesburg, we offer comprehensive evaluation and management of a wide range of liver and biliary disorders, using a combination of diagnostic precision, clinical experience, and personalized care.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
We assess and manage a variety of liver and biliary conditions, including:
Hepatitis (A, B, C) – Viral infections that cause liver inflammation
Fatty Liver Disease – Often associated with obesity, diabetes, or alcohol use
Gallstones – Solid deposits in the gallbladder that can cause pain and blockages
Cholangitis and Bile Duct Obstruction – Infections or narrowing of the bile ducts
Autoimmune Liver Diseases – Such as primary biliary cholangitis
Liver enzyme abnormalities detected in routine blood tests
Diagnostic Tools We Use
To accurately assess liver and biliary health, we may recommend:
Blood tests – Liver function tests, viral markers, autoimmune profiles
Ultrasound or Imaging referrals – To view the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts
Gastroscopy – In cases where portal hypertension or varices are suspected
Liver biopsy referral – For complex or unresolved liver conditions
