Sudhakar K. Venkatesh, M.D., studies chronic liver diseases and focal liver lesions from a noninvasive diagnosis perspective. Dr. Venkatesh uses state-of-the-art imaging and advanced techniques (including diffusion-weighted imaging and magnetic resonance elastography) to find imaging biomarkers that can accurately diagnose liver fibrosis.
Dr. Venkatesh is also researching outcomes of chronic liver diseases in terms of liver decompensation. Additionally, he is interested in biliary tract diseases, infective disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and disorders of the pancreas.
The identification of noninvasive biomarkers for staging of liver fibrosis will reduce the need for painful liver biopsies. Differentiating NASH from simple steatosis would help to implement treatment strategies to prevent progression of NASH. Early diagnosis of HCC and CCA will be useful for early treatment of these deadly tumors, with an ultimate goal of curing them.
