Giving to Hepatology

For many people, a liver disease diagnosis raises difficult questions and uncertainty about the future. Your gift to the hepatology program at Michigan Medicine supports the expert care and answers patients and their loved ones need to look forward with hope.

Donations of all sizes help advance pioneering research, care innovations, and whole-person approaches to help patients thrive in their daily lives. Every gift brings better answers, breakthrough therapies, and healthier futures closer.

Your support helps our hepatologists and care teams offer compassionate whole-person care and advanced treatments for people living with complex liver conditions including:

• Cirrhosis
• Metabolic or fatty liver disease
• Hepatitis B and C
• Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)
• Liver and bile duct cancer
• Genetic liver diseases like Wilson disease, hemochromatosis, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

Every dollar raised supports promising work across the spectrum of liver disease care and discovery.

Our vision is to transform the future of liver care by building initiatives focused on early detection, improved care, precision medicine, and new treatments. 

With philanthropic support, we aim to develop:

• A Liver Cancer Program focused on developing blood tests for early detection of liver cancer and noninvasive therapies with minimal side effects.
• An Integrative Hepatology Program dedicated to developing whole-person therapies and tools to manage symptoms of chronic liver disease — without pills. 
• The Liver Cure Project, an effort using precision medicine to uncover the genetic causes of liver disease so we can better prevent, detect, and treat these conditions. This work would fuel clinical trials aimed at repairing genetic mutations that lead to liver disease.

Today and tomorrow, donations bridge critical funding gaps, accelerate research, and help us quickly move discoveries from the lab to the patients who need them.

Your gift helps us lead the way to a world free from chronic liver disease. Thank you for your belief in our work and for your support of our patients and families.
