Gastroenterology is a specialty which includes the brief study with its diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the entire digestive system. These disorders may affect the organs like esophagus which we say swallowing tube, small intestine, stomach, large intestine i.e. colon-rectum, liver, gallbladder or pancreas. Hepatology is the branch of medicine that incorporates the study of liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, and pancreas as well as management of their disorders. Although traditionally considered a sub-specialty of gastroenterology, rapid expansion has led in some countries to doctors specializing solely on this area, who are called hepatologists.
