Liver disease / Hepatitis specialist in Thailand

[turgid]

Can anyone recomend a Thai hospital that specialises in liver problems ?    

 

Have an extended family member in Laos who is  sick with what sounds like Jaundice.    I've been trying to understand what she has but the multiple medications she has been given by the  hospital in Vientiane  is all sourced from Vietnam and i cant find any english description of what it is. It doesnt seem to be working.  The only diagnosis i've been able to glean is "liver".  Shes a rural farmer and I think she may have Hepatitis, but its entirely possible that I expressed it as a possibility and everyone jumped on it.

The biggest problem i find with working with health problems is getting  the symptons and diagnosis from uneducated people who have been used to very basic or no medical treatment and still believe the local fortune teller is a better option for fixing stuff than a doctor. 

We'd like to bring her to Thailand for a second opinion and to actually get some understanding of what she really has so it can be properly treated and managed.

I would suggest Srinagarind Hospital in Khon Kaen. It is linked to the medical school/university and will have expertise in liver disease which is common in that part of Thailand.

All hospitals of any size have GI specialists with expertise in liver problems.

 

If Khon Kaen is convenient to you, Srinagarind is a good choice.

 

If it is more convenient to bring her to Bangkok,  I suggest consulting Prof. Pisit Tangkijvanic

He can be seen at Bnngkok Christian Hospital https://www.bch.in.th/en/doctor-th-4/doctor-en-10/item/563-ent12.html

Or at Chulalongkorn hosp.  The after hours clinic at Chula would enable direct consultation with him but there may be a long wait list.
