Liver Disease Treatment

Focused on Eliminating Hepatitis C

The Grady Liver Clinic provides comprehensive care for people with chronic hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is the most common bloodborne infection. About 2.4 million Americans live with hepatitis C. Half of them do not even realize they are infected, and most show no symptoms.

The hepatitis C virus, which can usually be cured when treated with antiviral medications, is the leading cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer and a leading cause of liver transplantation. Untreated hepatitis C can lead to lifelong liver damage, liver failure, liver cancer, and death.

Why Choose Us

We get great results. More than 95 percent of our patients are cured of hepatitis C after treatment.

Our Services

Education

Grady’s Liver Clinic offers extensive counseling and education about hepatitis so patients understand their infections and their treatment options.

Liver assessments

We use a combination of imaging, other diagnostic tools, and lab testing to determine each patient’s condition and choose a course of treatment. Imaging sometimes includes Fibroscan®, also called transient elastography, a non-invasive way to measure liver stiffness.

Treatment

We offer antiviral medication for hepatitis C and assist with medication approvals and support during treatment.

Vaccinations

We offer vaccinations for hepatitis A and B.

Research

As one of the nation’s elite teaching hospitals, Grady’s clinicians have been involved in a variety of research programs that have sought to improve the treatment of liver disease. We have served as a site for multiple clinical research studies and remain committed to doing vital research that will continue to redefine its care.

Our Doctors

Every hospital treats patients. At Grady, we strive to treat them better, more efficiently, and more effectively. Our mission to care for all who need us attracts specialists from across the nation. They are drawn here by the knowledge that we test the limits of medicine by innovating existing standards of care, researching cutting-edge drugs and therapies, and exploring novel treatments.

Our zeal for innovation has given Grady a national reputation for medical advancement in areas like liver disease, heart disease, cancer, burn, stroke, diabetes, infectious diseases, women’s health, sickle cell, and other conditions cared for by specialists in our centers of excellence. Access to all of these accredited practices is available to every Grady patient and our collegial environment means that specialists routinely help to care for their colleagues’ patients.

Though clinicians are drawn by Grady’s reputation, most are employed by the Emory and Morehouse schools of medicine, which staff our medical services. Grady is one of a handful of U.S. health systems whose patients are cared for by faculty members of two medical schools. This reinforces our commitment to ongoing innovation.
