Ammar Majeed is a hepatologist based in Melbourne, working from 55 Commercial Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia. He looks after people with liver and bile duct problems, and also deals with some serious complications that can come along with them. If someone has ongoing liver disease, it can affect a lot more than just liver tests, and that’s where this care matters.
In many cases, his patients are dealing with conditions like cirrhosis and liver failure. He also helps manage long-term liver issues such as hepatitis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, along with alcohol-related liver disease. At times, liver problems can lead to things like portal hypertension and swelling in the body, so treatment often needs to cover more than one issue at once.
He also works with people who have problems in the bile ducts. This can include cholangitis and sclerosing cholangitis, and conditions like primary biliary cholangitis. When bile flow is affected, it can cause repeated symptoms and ongoing changes in the liver, so care is usually planned and monitored over time.
Some patients need help with bleeding and clotting concerns. He treats issues such as oesophageal varices and gastrointestinal bleeding, which can be urgent. He also works with conditions linked to blood clots and clotting disorders, including venous thromboembolism (VTE) and Von Willebrand disease (VWD). In situations where transfusions are involved, he manages complications like haemolytic transfusion reactions.
There are also cancers and other serious illnesses that come under liver care. This includes liver cancer and cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). Nutritional problems can happen too, so malnutrition is part of the bigger picture. People may also present with obesity, which can be tied in with fatty liver disease, and in some cases atrial fibrillation is part of the same health history.
