PAMF Liver Care

Your liver is a remarkable organ that performs close to 500 chemical transactions: A healthy liver is essential for life. When something goes wrong—fatty liver disease, hepatitis C or too much alcohol—seek help right away. Liver specialists at Palo Alto Medical Foundation provide evaluations, treatment and access to clinical trials.

A Leader in Liver Disease Care

Sutter’s nationally recognized Center for Liver Disease Management and Transplantation serves as a collaborative hub for liver disease care and research, providing access to internationally known liver specialists and investigational therapies. We provide compassionate and comprehensive evaluation and diagnostics at our center at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) in San Francisco and at 12 satellite offices in Northern California.

Highly specialized hepatologists lead focused disease-management programs for each major liver disease, including:

  • Acute liver failure
  • Alcoholic liver disease
  • Autoimmune liver disease
  • Cirrhosis
  • Fatty liver disease
  • Hepatitis B
  • Hepatitis C
  • Liver cancer

Sutter care centers have a comprehensive liver disease research program that provides our patients access to many clinical trials focused on new therapies, devices and antiviral agents in the areas of viral hepatitis, liver cancer, gastroenterology and liver transplantation.

The liver disease management and transplant team at CPMC has achieved national recognition in patient outcomes and research, including the following distinctions:

  • Recognized by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients in 2014 as the only liver and kidney transplant program in the nation to exceed better-than-expected patient outcomes.
  • Awarded the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Transplant Program Award at Silver level in 2012, one of five out of 137 recognized as an exemplary liver transplant program.
  • Serves as one of 15 sites in the United States selected to participate in the National Institutes of Health's Hepatitis B Research Network, bringing together clinical centers with expertise in caring for patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

Acute Liver Failure Support

Around-the-Clock Care

Too much acetaminophen, viral hepatitis and poisonous mushrooms all can result in acute liver failure. Our Transfer Center is staffed round-the-clock to bring acutely ill patients to California Pacific Medical Center for treatment.

Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) Research

Sutter Health Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) Research
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune disease with injury and inflammation to the small bile ducts in the liver. This injury can eventually cause the bile ducts to collapse. Without bile ducts, bile (a digestive enzyme) builds up and causes liver damage.
