About of Sharon C. Cunningham

Sharon C. Cunningham is a hepatologist based in Westmead, NSW, working from 214 Hawkesbury Rd, Westmead NSW 2145, Australia.


Her work focuses on liver-related conditions, especially issues that show up in childhood and can be long lasting. In many cases, this care involves looking after people with metabolic liver problems. These can include urea cycle disorders and related conditions like ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency and orotic aciduria type 1. She also supports people living with different types of cholestasis, where bile flow is slowed or blocked.


Conditions she commonly helps with include progressive forms of intrahepatic cholestasis, such as progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3. At times, these conditions can be complex for families to manage day to day, so clear guidance and steady follow-up matter.


As a hepatologist, Sharon’s approach is practical and patient-centred. She works through what’s going on with the liver, how symptoms can change over time, and what tests and next steps make sense. The aim is to help families understand the plan, spot changes early, and feel supported between appointments.
