Amanda J. Nicoll is a hepatologist based in Box Hill, Melbourne, VIC, Australia. She works with people who have liver and bile duct conditions, from early problems that need careful follow-up to more serious issues where long-term planning matters.
Most visits are about getting answers. Some people come in because of abnormal liver blood tests, ongoing fatigue, or symptoms that don’t seem to settle. Others are referred after imaging shows changes in the liver or bile ducts. Over time, the aim is to understand what is driving the problem and then map out a clear next step.
Amanda helps patients with conditions like autoimmune hepatitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. She also looks after people with hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, as well as cholangitis. In many cases, the treatment plan involves monitoring, lifestyle support, and medicines that help control inflammation and protect liver function.
She also treats liver-related complications that can come with long-standing disease. This can include cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and liver failure. At times, people may have concerns about liver cancer, including cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer), and she helps coordinate the right investigations and ongoing care.
Metabolic health is another big part of liver care. Amanda works with people who have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome, including abdominal obesity. She also supports patients dealing with related issues such as metabolic acidosis and hypertension, because these can all affect how the liver copes.
Some cases involve inherited or rarer liver problems. Amanda’s work includes looking after conditions such as hemochromatosis and hereditary coproporphyria. She also cares for people with hepatic ischemia, which can happen when blood flow to the liver is reduced.
Where needed, her care links into wider hospital and specialist pathways, including care that connects to liver transplant services. She also manages follow-up after procedures when relevant, including thrombectomy. The focus stays practical: steady monitoring, plain-language explanations, and support that fits around real life in Melbourne.
