RESEARCH PROFILE
My research has focused on viral hepatitis and the complications of cirrhosis, specifically management of portal hypertension and cardiac evaluation of patients awaiting liver transplantation. Most of my research was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Samuel Sigal. Investigator initiated research assessed the role of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in hepatic encephalopathy, the impact of depression and fatigue in cirrhosis, and the optimal strategy for albumin utilization in bacterial peritonitis. In addition, industry supported research has included terlipressin for type II hepatorenal syndrome, vapreotide for the prevention of recurrent esophageal variceal hemorrhage, and rifaximin for the prevention of recurrent hepatic encephalopathy. Research has been presented at national and international society meetings.
CLINICAL PROFILE
My clinical practice focuses on the care and management of patients living with chronic liver disease, including endoscopic procedures for management of portal hypertension. I have a particular interest in chronic viral hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and prevention and management of the complications of portal hypertension. In addition, my practice includes evaluation of patients for orthotopic liver transplantation and optimization and management of patients before and after transplant surgery.
IMPACT
My research has been presented at both national and international liver society meetings. Industry sponsored research was published in major peer reviewed journals and became part of the standard of care for the management of hepatic encephalopathy and hepatorenal syndrome. The hepatology teaching program that I run plays an instrumental role in the education of fellows at Lenox Hill Hospital.
