Susan M. Siew is a hepatologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after liver health and liver-related issues, from early life problems through to more complex long-term care.
Her work often involves conditions where bile flow is slow or blocked. This can show up as cholestasis, jaundice, or bile duct obstruction. In many cases, she helps families understand what is going on, what tests are usually done, and how doctors can support the liver while the cause is worked out.
Susan M. Siew also cares for people with long-term, inherited liver conditions. For example, this can include Alagille Syndrome, Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) types 1 and 3, and Transient Familial Hyperbilirubinemia. These conditions can be tricky, because symptoms may come and go, and the plan often needs to be adjusted over time.
Some patients she treats are babies with newborn jaundice, where the key is to work out what’s normal and what needs closer checks. She also helps with situations like urea cycle disorders (UCD) and orotic aciduria type 1, which can affect how the body handles certain substances. Even when the liver is not the only focus, the goal is still to keep the whole system as safe and stable as possible.
At times, care may also connect with liver transplant planning and follow-up. For people who reach that point, it can feel like a lot to take in. Susan M. Siew focuses on clear next steps and calm, practical guidance, especially when decisions need to happen quickly.
Over time, she has built experience looking after complex liver problems and supporting families through diagnosis and longer treatment pathways. She understands that every case is different, and that people often need more than just test results—they need help making sense of the journey.
Her education includes specialist medical training in hepatology, along with ongoing professional learning to keep up with how liver care is evolving. In her day-to-day work, she uses that knowledge to coordinate care and support better outcomes where possible.
