Free Tele-Consultation for Chennai PatientsChennai has established liver programmes, but many patients from Tamil Nadu find themselves seeking a second opinion or looking for a centre that offers shorter waiting times, personalised surgical attention, and transparent pricing.

Conditions We Treat — Common in Tamil Nadu
Several liver conditions are particularly prevalent in Tamil Nadu and surrounding states, and Dr. Srinivas has specific experience with these:
- Hepatitis B cirrhosis — endemic in South India; LDLT with HBV prophylaxis protocol prevents reinfection
- Wilson’s Disease — presents in younger patients (teens/20s) with acute liver failure or neurological symptoms; transplant is curative
- Biliary Atresia in infants — parents from Tamil Nadu frequently choose Dhaara for paediatric living-donor transplants when Kasai procedure has failed
- Cryptogenic cirrhosis / NASH — rising rapidly with urbanisation and dietary changes; most patients require detailed evaluation to confirm the cause before transplant listing
- Acute Liver Failure from traditional medicines / herbal hepatotoxicity — a specific concern in Tamil Nadu where herbal remedies (siddha/ayurvedic) occasionally cause acute hepatotoxicity requiring emergency transplant
