Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu — liver surgeon, liver transplant specialist, and HPB surgeon at Dhaara Speciality Hospital, Yelahanka, North Bangalore. Comprehensive care for all liver diseases — from fatty liver and hepatitis to liver cancer, cirrhosis, and liver transplant.
Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu is one of North Bangalore's most experienced liver specialists — a surgical hepatologist and HPB surgeon who treats the complete spectrum of liver diseases. His practice at Dhaara Speciality Hospital, Yelahanka combines medical hepatology (managing liver diseases with medication and monitoring) with advanced surgical hepatology (liver surgery, liver cancer resection, robotic liver surgery, and liver transplant).
Unlike a general gastroenterologist, Dr. Srinivas has subspecialty training specifically in liver disease and liver surgery — meaning he can manage your liver condition from diagnosis through to the most complex surgical intervention, all under one specialist in North Bangalore.
Patients from Yelahanka, Hebbal, Jakkur, Devanahalli, Sahakar Nagar, Thanisandra, Airport Road, and all of North Bangalore consult Dr. Srinivas without needing to travel to the city centre for specialist liver care.
Many liver diseases are silent in early stages — they cause no symptoms until significant damage has occurred. These signs mean you should see a liver specialist without delay.
Yellow discolouration of the eyes or skin indicates elevated bilirubin — a sign that the liver is not processing bile properly. Causes range from hepatitis and gallstones to liver cancer and bile duct obstruction. Any new jaundice needs urgent evaluation.
Elevated SGOT (AST), SGPT (ALT), ALP, GGT, or bilirubin found on routine blood tests — even without symptoms — must be investigated. Elevated LFTs are often the first sign of fatty liver, hepatitis, or early cirrhosis.
A diagnosis of "fatty liver" or "Grade 1/2/3 hepatic steatosis" on ultrasound should not be ignored. Without intervention, fatty liver can progress to NASH, cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer over 10–20 years. Early management prevents this progression.
Fluid accumulation in the abdomen is a sign of portal hypertension — commonly from cirrhosis. It indicates decompensated liver disease and requires urgent specialist evaluation for transplant planning and complication prevention.
A positive Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or Hepatitis C antibody result requires immediate specialist assessment of liver damage, viral load, and whether antiviral treatment is needed — to prevent progression to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Any liver lesion detected on imaging — described as a "cyst," "nodule," "mass," or "lesion" — needs specialist evaluation with a contrast CT or MRI. Liver masses include benign cysts, HCC (liver cancer), and metastases from other cancers. Delay in diagnosis of HCC is directly linked to reduced survival.

Yes, ideally. While mild fatty liver (Grade 1) can often be managed with lifestyle changes guided by your GP, a specialist evaluation helps: assess the severity, check for liver inflammation (NASH) via blood tests or biopsy, identify if cirrhosis has already begun, and set a personalised management plan. Fatty liver that progresses to cirrhosis is now one of the most common reasons for liver transplant in India. Early specialist input prevents this outcome.
Warning signs requiring urgent liver specialist evaluation: yellow eyes or skin (jaundice), swollen abdomen (ascites), vomiting blood, confusion or personality changes (hepatic encephalopathy), very dark urine, pale stools, easy bruising, and severe fatigue. Any of these in a patient with known liver disease is a medical emergency — call +91 87478 74888 or attend an emergency department immediately.
