Geoffrey C. Farrell is a hepatologist based in Garran, in the ACT. His practice address is on Yamba Drive, Garran ACT 2605. A hepatologist looks after health problems that affect the liver, and that can include issues that build up slowly over time as well as sudden changes that need care sooner.
Many of the people he sees have long-term liver conditions linked to weight and metabolism. This can include non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). He also works with patients who have metabolic syndrome, obesity, and abdominal obesity, along with conditions like type 2 diabetes (T2D). In many cases, managing these health factors is a big part of helping the liver.
He also helps with ongoing liver inflammation and infection. That can include hepatitis and hepatitis C, plus other liver problems that affect bile flow, such as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. At times, liver scans or blood tests can show signs like an enlarged liver, and follow-up is important to work out what is causing it.
Cirrhosis is another key area. Cirrhosis means the liver has been damaged over time, and it can lead to ongoing symptoms and extra health checks. Geoffrey Farrell also treats liver cancer, and looks at related liver concerns such as telangiectasia in the liver.
Some cases are more complex. He has experience managing conditions like hepatic ischemia, where part of the liver has reduced blood flow. He also works with people who have rare liver-related conditions, including ataxia-telangiectasia.
If you’re dealing with liver symptoms, abnormal test results, or you’ve been told you may have a long-term liver condition, the next step is usually getting the right diagnosis and a clear plan. Geoffrey Farrell is a hepatologist who focuses on practical care for liver health, from early investigation through to ongoing management.
