The Liver Disease Program at National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado, helps patients get answers, receive expert care, and take control of their liver health. Each year, thousands of adults trust our team for diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support. Patients travel from across the Rocky Mountain region to see our liver specialists.
Liver disease is becoming more common in Colorado and throughout the United States. Factors such as alcohol use, obesity, and some dietary supplements can increase the risk of liver disease. The good news is that when liver disease is found early, about 90% of cases can be treated, and many liver conditions can be reversed.
Our goal is to help you protect your liver, improve your health, and prevent serious complications. We start by finding the cause of your symptoms and making an accurate diagnosis. Then, we create a personalized treatment plan designed around your needs and health goals.
