Your liver plays a critical role in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification. Unfortunately, liver disease often develops silently, with no obvious symptoms until significant damage has occurred. At Oasis Advanced Gastroenterology, our liver clinic is equipped with Fibroscan/UGAP technology, we offer comprehensive liver health, fatty liver early diagnosis and treatment, and cirrhosis monitoring services to patients across Coachella, Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, and the greater Coachella Valley.
Led by Dr. Mehrdad Asgeri, a board-certified gastroenterologist in Coachella, our liver clinic provides advanced diagnostic Fibroscan/UGAP technologies, personalized monitoring plans, and preventive care to help you maintain optimal liver function and detect problems before they progress.
Chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, NASH, alcohol-related liver damage, and drug-induced liver damage can lead to cirrhosis if left untreated. Cirrhosis is a severe, irreversible scarring of the liver that can cause life-threatening complications.
By monitoring your liver health, we can:
You may benefit from regular liver health screenings if you:
Even if you have no symptoms, these risk factors can increase the likelihood of silent liver damage.
We use a range of diagnostic tools to assess and monitor your liver’s condition.
These tests measure levels of liver enzymes, bilirubin, and proteins to detect inflammation, injury, or impaired function. Regular testing can help identify subtle changes before they become serious.
Abdominal ultrasound provides a non-invasive way to evaluate the liver’s size, texture, and blood flow. We may also recommend MRI or CT scans for more detailed imaging.
FibroScan uses ultrasound-based technology to measure liver stiffness, which can indicate scarring or fibrosis. Additionally this technique quantifies fat content of the liver. It is quick, painless, and highly effective in assessing disease progression.
For patients with diagnosed cirrhosis, we provide regular follow-ups to check for complications such as portal hypertension, ascites, or liver cancer.
Your monitoring plan will be customized based on your diagnosis, risk factors, and overall health. Some patients may need testing every 6 to 12 months, while others require more frequent evaluations.
During follow-up visits, we will:
A diagnosis of chronic liver disease or cirrhosis does not mean you cannot live well. With regular monitoring, many patients can slow down or even halt disease progression. Maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, managing other digestive and metabolic conditions, and following your treatment plan can significantly improve your outlook.
Patients across Coachella Valley trust us for liver health and cirrhosis monitoring because we provide:
Do not wait for symptoms to appear before taking care of your liver. Preventive screenings and regular monitoring are the best ways to protect yourself from serious complications.
Fatty liver is very prevalent. Liver health monitoring is essential because many liver conditions, including chronic liver disease, can progress without symptoms. Regular evaluations help detect early changes, track disease progression, and prevent complications such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.
If you have been diagnosed with cirrhosis, your gastroenterologist in Coachella will recommend a schedule based on your condition’s severity. Most patients require liver function tests and imaging every 6 months, but more frequent monitoring may be necessary for advanced disease.
We use a combination of liver function tests, abdominal ultrasounds, and advanced imaging to assess liver structure and function. For fibrosis and scarring, FibroScan® technology provides a quick, non-invasive evaluation. FibroScan®/UGAP quantifies the fat contents of the liver. These tests allow us to detect changes early and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
In many cases, early-stage chronic liver disease can be improved with lifestyle changes, hepatitis care, and fatty liver disease management. With new medication (Rezdifrra) and weight management strategies we offer, there is a good chance to reverse the percentage of liver scarring. However, advanced cirrhosis involves permanent scarring. With regular cirrhosis monitoring, we can help slow disease progression and reduce the risk of complications.
Anyone with fatty liver disease, hepatitis B or C, excessive alcohol use, type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, or a family history of liver disease should undergo regular monitoring. Residents in Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, La Quinta, and the wider Coachella Valley community benefit from early detection and targeted care.
