Dr Amit Singh Barpha is listed under Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Apollo Hospitals and is known as a Hepatology and Liver Transplant expert.

Areas of Hepatology Expertise
1. Chronic Liver Disease
Chronic liver disease can have several causes, including viral hepatitis, metabolic liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, and autoimmune conditions. Specialist assessment may involve identifying the underlying cause, reviewing liver function, and assessing fibrosis, cirrhosis, or other complications.
Dr Barpha's profile includes management of chronic liver failure, alcohol-related liver disease, viral hepatitis, autoimmune liver diseases and metabolic liver disorders.
2. Liver Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension
Cirrhosis involves significant scarring of the liver and may affect normal liver function. Advanced cirrhosis can be associated with complications such as portal hypertension, ascites, varices, variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy.
Dr Barpha's areas of expertise encompass cirrhosis and portal hypertension, including management of ascites, variceal bleeding and encephalopathy.
3. Acute and Chronic Liver Failure
Liver failure may develop suddenly or occur as a consequence of advanced chronic liver disease. Depending on the clinical situation, patients may require urgent assessment, intensive care and specialist management. In selected patients with advanced liver disease, liver transplant evaluation may also form part of the care pathway.
Dr Barpha's profile specifically lists acute and chronic liver failure management and ICU hepatology for critically ill liver patients.
Liver Transplantation and Transplant Care
Liver transplantation may be considered for selected patients with advanced or end-stage liver disease and certain other serious liver conditions.
Dr Barpha's listed transplant interests include pre-transplant evaluation, transplant listing, ICU optimisation, post-transplant ICU management, immunosuppression and long-term follow-up.
Pagsusuri sa Pre-Transplant
A transplant evaluation assesses liver condition, overall health, and other factors relevant to transplantation.
Post-Liver Transplant Care
After transplantation, ongoing medical follow-up may include monitoring liver function, medications, immunosuppression, and possible complications.
Fatty Liver Disease, NAFLD and NASH
Fatty liver disease involves excess fat accumulation in the liver. NAFLD and NASH are associated with metabolic risk factors and may be accompanied by inflammation or liver fibrosis.
Dr Barpha's current profile specifically lists NAFLD and NASH management among his clinical interests.
Viral Hepatitis
Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are viral infections that can affect the liver and, when persistent, may be associated with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Evaluation may involve laboratory testing, assessment of liver health, and appropriate treatment planning.
Dr Barpha's listed interests include hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and other viral liver diseases.
Autoimmune and Metabolic Liver Diseases
Some liver conditions are related to immune-system activity or inherited and metabolic disorders. Dr Barpha's profile lists autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, Wilson's disease, haemochromatosis and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency among his areas of interest.
Liver Tumours and Biliary Disorders
Liver tumours may require multidisciplinary team assessment. Dr Barpha's listed interests include hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and metastatic liver disease.
His profile also includes biliary disorders such as biliary strictures, cholangitis and post-transplant biliary issues, along with endoscopic management of selected gastrointestinal and liver complications, including variceal banding and biliary interventions.
When Should You Consult a Hepatologist?
Hepatologist consultation is indicated in these conditions:
Talamak na hepatitis B o C
Fatty liver with abnormal liver function tests
Suspected autoimmune or metabolic liver disease
Mga abnormal na pagsusuri sa pag-andar sa atay
Suspected liver cirrhosis
Paninilaw
Ang hypertension ng portal
Pamamaga ng tiyan o ascites
Complications of advanced liver disease
Pagkabigo sa atay

Liver Disease Diagnostic Evaluation
Investigations depend on the clinical findings, patient’s medical history, and symptoms. Tests include viral hepatitis tests, bilirubin and liver enzymes, liver function tests, autoimmune tests, and MRI or CT scan. Fibrosis evaluation, endoscopic evaluation, and liver biopsy may also be applied in selected cases. The hepatologist reviews the available findings, makes the diagnosis, determines the stage of disease, and sets the treatment plan.
Liver Disease Care Journey
A common patient journey could consist of:
Initial consultation → Liver assessment → Diagnosis → Evaluation of disease severity → Establishment of treatment plan → Clinical observation → Advanced care or transplant assessment if necessary.
Not every patient needs every investigation or step of the journey. The care pathway depends on the patient’s condition.
