Overview

The Department of Hepatology was newly established from the Third Department of Internal Medicine in 2001, and Professor Norifumi Kawada has been the head of our department since January 2007. Our department mainly performs extensive work on hepato-biliary-pancreatic diseases. We have made a number of globally prominent achievements such as promotion of interferon therapy for hepatitis B and C. Currently, as a leading institution for liver disease, we are working on the treatment of chronic viral hepatitis using the latest therapeutic agents (direct-acting antivirals against hepatitis C and nucleoside analog therapy against hepatitis B), ablation therapy for liver cancer, diagnosis and treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, chemotherapy for hepato-biliary-pancreatic cancer, and so on. With research support from organizations such as JSPS and AMED, we do clinical and basic research and strive to publish our achievements internationally. In addition, we are collaborating with the Departments of Radiology, Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, Public Health and Anatomy.
