Fatty liver disease

About the service

Our fatty liver disease (steatotic liver disease) team, based at the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital provides specialist, comprehensive care for patients with MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic (fatty) liver disease), previously known as NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). This incorporates a full diagnostic service, including blood tests and an on-site FibroScan® which is a painless ultrasound-based test that provides instant results on liver fat and scarring. This allows us to identify fibrosis early and tailor a personalised management plan from your very first visit.

Why choose us?

Our team are internationally recognised clinical hepatologists, based at Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, leading one of the largest fatty liver disease services in the UK, caring for more than 2,000 NHS patients with this disease each year.

We’re at the forefront of research in this area, enabling us to offer expert guidance on the latest treatments and medications. As a result, you may benefit from early access to innovative therapies as they become available.

Research and innovation

Collectively our team have authored over 200 peer-reviewed publications in leading journals such as The Lancet, Nature Medicine, and Journal of Hepatology. They serve on major national and international committees, including the NICE MASLD Guideline Committee, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) MASLD Special Interest Group, and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL).

As leaders in clinical research, the team run multiple UK and international clinical trials in fatty liver disease and metabolic viral liver disease. They are also co-Directors of the first WHO Collaborating Centre for Steatotic Liver Diseases, shaping global policy, education and research in fatty liver disease and MetALD (metabolic dysfunction and alcohol-associated liver disease).

Patients seen at the Lindo Wing may be offered access to new fatty liver disease treatments. Our team is here to help with expert assessment, personalised advice and access to the latest treatments.
