Anouk T. Dev is a hepatologist based in Clayton, VIC, working from 246 Clayton Road, Clayton, VIC 3168, Australia.
As a liver specialist, Anouk looks after health issues that affect the liver and the bile ducts. This can include long-term liver conditions as well as sudden problems that need quick care.
Many people who see a hepatologist have ongoing hepatitis. That might be hepatitis B or hepatitis C, and sometimes other forms of hepatitis too. Anouk also helps with liver scarring and liver function changes, including cirrhosis. Over time, cirrhosis can lead to complications like portal hypertension, ascites, and swelling and pressure build-up in the abdomen.
There are also cancers and growths to deal with. Liver cancer can bring a lot of stress, and bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) is another serious condition that may need careful treatment planning. At times, issues in the bile ducts can also cause infections, such as cholangitis. When bile flow is blocked, infection risk can rise, and treatment needs to be timely.
Anouk also works with people who have metabolic and immune-related liver problems. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is common and can creep up without many symptoms early on. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is another cause of liver disease that some patients are managing. IgG4-related disease can affect more than one organ, including the liver and bile ducts, so it often needs a careful, steady approach.
Sclerosing cholangitis is another condition that affects the bile ducts. It can lead to long-term changes and, in some cases, ongoing inflammation. There are times when complications can become serious, including sepsis, so getting the right checks and treatment quickly matters.
Sometimes the picture includes other related health concerns. For example, gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection may be part of a wider gut and stomach story, and blood pressure issues like hypertension can show up in overall health planning. Conditions like lymphoid hyperplasia and subcutaneous emphysema may also be considered depending on what’s going on in a person’s health.
For people who need more advanced liver care, Anouk’s work can include care around liver transplant pathways. Having a clear plan, plain-language explanations, and follow-up that keeps moving forward can make a real difference when things are complex.
