摘要

Endohepatology is an emerging subspeciality dealing with endoscopic diagnosis and management of liver diseases. Traditionally, the role of endoscopy was limited to management of variceal bleed. However, advancements and innovations in the field of endoscopy have expanded its role, now encompassing a broader spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for liver diseases. The Indications for endohepatology includes advanced diagnostic and therapeutic options, particularly in endoscopic ultrasound guided therapy for gastric varices, endoscopic ultrasound-guided liver biopsy and portal pressure measurement and endoscopic therapies for meaningful weight loss for metabolic dysfunction associated liver disease (MASLD).
