Luis Bertot-Calzadilla is a hepatologist based in Nedlands, WA, Australia. If you’ve been told you have a liver issue, or you need ongoing liver care, he works with patients to make sense of what’s going on and what can be done next.
His clinic care focuses on liver conditions that can affect how your liver works day to day and over time. This includes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). These can be linked with metabolic health, including type 2 diabetes (T2D), and they can sometimes slowly change the health of the liver.
At times, liver problems come from the body’s own immune system. Luis also looks after people with autoimmune hepatitis. Another group he commonly supports is patients with bile duct inflammation and scarring, such as cholangitis and sclerosing cholangitis. These conditions can cause symptoms like pain, tiredness, or ongoing gut and liver-related issues, so it helps to have a plan that’s clear and steady.
Luis provides care across a wider range too. That can include hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure, where monitoring matters and treatment goals need to be worked out carefully. In more serious situations, he also supports patients facing liver cancer and issues that may be part of pre- and post-liver transplant care.
Because liver conditions can have different causes, it’s not always a one-size-fits-all situation. Many people need tests and follow-up over months, not just one appointment. He focuses on making sure results are understood in plain language, and that next steps match your overall health and risks.
Care for the liver can feel overwhelming, especially when terms like NASH, cirrhosis, or cholangitis are new. Luis’ approach is to keep things calm and practical, with check-ins that help you stay on track. If you’re dealing with a liver condition, or you’ve been managing one for a while, having a hepatology viewpoint can make a real difference to how things are handled.
