Your liver is silent. It doesn't complain until it's too late. Whether you have just been diagnosed with Fatty Liver or are worried about Cirrhosis, Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu provides the scientific clarity and medical expertise you need to make the right decision.
Liver disease is complex. Select the topic that matches your current situation to jump to the relevant guide:
Diagnosed with Grade 1 or 2? It's not "just fat." Learn how to reverse it before it becomes permanent.
Read Reversal Guide →Yellow eyes? It could be viral, stones, or alcohol. Immediate diagnosis is critical.
Understand Symptoms →Scarring is serious, but manageable. Learn how we keep you "Compensated" and stable.
Life with Cirrhosis →End-stage failure? Read our honest guide on when to list and how to prepare.
Transplant Criteria →The Bangalore Scenario: In our Electronic City clinic, 6 out of 10 IT professionals we screen have Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). It is driven by what we call the "Tech Lifestyle"—sedentary jobs, late dinners, and high-carb foods.
Why Worry? Grade 1 is harmless. But if ignored, it turns into NASH (Inflammation). Once inflammation starts, your liver begins to scar (Fibrosis). This is the silent path to Cirrhosis.
Need a Fibroscan? We can arrange it at our Yelahanka or Electronic City centers. Book a scan here.
Jaundice (yellow eyes/urine) is not a disease; it is a symptom. In adults, it is rarely "innocent." We categorize it into three buckets:
A stone or tumor is blocking the bile duct. This causes intense itching and dark urine.
Action: Requires immediate ERCP or Surgery. Native medicine will NOT work here.
Caused by Viruses (Hep A, B, C, E) or Alcohol.
Action: Requires medical management, antivirals, or steroids.
The word "Cirrhosis" sounds scary. It simply means "scarring." If you cut your skin, it forms a scar. If the liver gets injured repeatedly (by alcohol or virus), it fills with scars.
This is the most important concept to understand.
As a Transplant Surgeon, Dr. Srinivas's advice is honest: "A transplant is a marriage, not a date." It is a lifelong commitment to medication.
We only recommend it when:
If you fit these criteria, we guide you through the ZCCK Government Listing (for deceased donor) or Living Donor Evaluation (family donor). Schedule a transplant counseling session to understand the costs and process.
A Gastroenterologist treats the whole digestive tract. A Hepatologist focuses exclusively on the liver. For complex issues like Hepatitis C or Transplant planning, a Hepatologist offers specialized expertise.
Absolutely. With modern antivirals, we can suppress the virus so effectively that transmission risk is negligible. We also vaccinate your partner/baby to ensure 100% safety.
Yes. Hospitalizations for jaundice, cirrhosis complications, and transplants are covered by most Indian insurers. We have a dedicated team to help with approvals.
