Liver & Pancreatic Disease Care in Denton, TX
Diagnosis and long-term management of fatty liver disease, abnormal liver tests, pancreatitis and other liver and pancreas conditions.
Your Liver and Pancreas
Two Organs Essential to Digestion
The liver filters toxins, makes bile and stores energy. The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones such as insulin. Problems with either organ can affect digestion, nutrition and overall health.
Many liver and pancreatic conditions cause few symptoms early on, so abnormal blood tests or imaging findings should always be followed up.

Liver & Pancreas Care in Denton
Protecting Your Liver and Pancreas
Fatty liver disease now affects about 1 in 4 adults. Losing 5 to 10 percent of body weight, eating a Mediterranean-style diet, staying active and limiting alcohol can reduce liver fat and inflammation.
Warning Signs of Pancreatitis
Severe upper abdominal pain that spreads to the back, often with nausea and vomiting, can be pancreatitis. Seek urgent care for these symptoms.
Coordinated Hospital Care
Dr. Awan is affiliated with Medical City Denton, Medical City Lewisville and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton for patients who need inpatient care or advanced procedures.
