• We carry out gastrointestinal motility test-esophageal manometry, 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring and anorectal manometry in order to offer diagnosis of functional gastrointestinal disorders such as GERD and functional constipation.
• Liver disorder – We treat acute and chronic hepatitis, alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver, steatohepatitis, liver cirrhosis and complications, and liver cancer.
• Liver fibrosis test – We offer early diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis that progresses in chronic hepatitis patients by measuring the level of liver fibrosis without tissue biopsy.
