Hepatology
"We do research in order to design new treatment strategies that will improve the survival and quality of life of our patients".
DR. BRUNO SANGRO DIRECTOR. HEPATOLOGY UNIT
In the Hepatology Unit we boast over 30 years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. We have all the possible diagnostic equipment, ranging from the latest imaging methods to the most advanced molecular and genetic techniques.
We are pioneers in the application of novel treatment techniques, such as gene therapy, immunotherapy or radioembolisation with Ytrium-90 microspheres.
In addition, we are at the forefront of minimally invasive liver surgery and living-donor liver transplantation.
Our nursing team is highly specialised in this field because of the varied and intense symptoms presented by liver patients.
We are part of the Liver and Pancreas Tumours Area, a multidisciplinary area that is exclusively dedicated to the comprehensive treatment of tumours of the liver, pancreas and bile duct.

Liver transplantation
At the Clinic we are at the forefront of performing living-donor liver transplants, using laparoscopic surgery to minimise the impact on the donor.
Radioembolization with microspheres
This technique allows the treatment of inoperable liver tumours by administering radiation directly to the tumour, respecting the healthy liver.
We are a benchmark centre at European level in the administration of this treatment with over 600 procedures performed.
Immunotherapy
We have different immunotherapy treatment options at our disposal, ranging from the use of reinforced own cells in the laboratory to the infusion of immunological checkpoints that boost the anti-tumour response.

Their testimonies encourage us to continue improving our services
Antonio
Liver Tumor Microspheres Radioembolization
"The radioembolization managed to stop the evolution of the 8 tumors I had in my liver, with only one radioembolization.
Six months after this treatment, I was able to undergo surgery and this has allowed me to be evaluated for a liver transplant, which will be the total cure of that tumor.
José Mª and Ainhoa
Interliving liver transplant
"Since I had the disease, my outlook on life has changed. The satisfaction of living can handle everything.
I am here for my family and for the Clinica, they have given me life. I have been born again.
Maribel
Liver transplant donor
"I didn't think twice about it. To the person who is thinking about it, I would say that recovery is very simple and you can live a normal life very quickly.
Today I feel proud of myself for what I have done, I see my brother who is recovering very well.
Gurutze
Liver Metastases
"I had breast cancer first and then I was discovered to have liver metastases.
After the radioembolization, I'm 100% now. You have to fight it, if you don't fight it, there's nothing to be done. You have to be strong and pull through.
