Liver disease care at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai in Kottayam, Kerala covers fatty liver disease, hepatitis B and other viral hepatitis, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. A dedicated Fatty Liver Clinic focuses on metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with early detection, risk reduction and long term liver health as the priority.
FibroScan measures liver stiffness and fibrosis without a biopsy, supported by advanced imaging and image guided biopsy where tissue diagnosis is needed. For patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension, endoscopic variceal ligation is used to control variceal bleeding and reduce the risk of recurrence, interventional radiology provides TIPS and portal vein intervention, and surgery for portal hypertension is available where it is required.

The department manages the full spectrum of gastrointestinal, hepatic, pancreatic and biliary conditions. This includes acid reflux disease, peptic ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), irritable bowel syndrome, liver diseases, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, gastrointestinal cancers and all conditions requiring diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy.
Capsule endoscopy involves swallowing a small, vitamin sized capsule containing a tiny camera. As it passes through the digestive tract, it captures thousands of images of the small bowel, an area that is difficult to reach with conventional endoscopy. It is used to evaluate conditions such as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn’s disease and small bowel tumours.
Most endoscopic procedures are performed under conscious sedation or short general anaesthesia, so patients typically experience minimal discomfort. The gastroenterology team at Mar Sleeva Medicity Palai ensures patient comfort and safety with ICU level monitoring during and after the procedure.
