Liver Diseases

The Liver Diseases group is a referent at the local, national and international level in research, and is one of the most active groups in clinical research at VHIR. The group's prominent involvement in clinical trials is a clear indication of our professionals' commitment to ensuring that patients have access to state-of-the-art therapies. Our participation and collaboration in international projects and consortiums are also a fundamental characteristic of the group. The main objective of the group is to become one of the best translational research groups in liver diseases. It is essential to be able to apply all the findings of basic research to clinical research to improve the health of patients with liver disease.

Vall d’Hebron participates in a consensus to optimize equity in access to liver transplant

The consensus establishes recommendations that could correct the current disparities related to muscle mass, weight and height and would allow for more precise prioritization of patients who require transplants more urgently.

We develop a method to diagnose fatty liver in a quantitative and non-invasive way

Using computed tomography (CT), with or without contrast, it is possible to perform an accurate and safe detection of the disease without the need for biopsies and avoiding the limitations of other non-invasive diagnostic tools.
