Shen Xizhong

Clinical focus Common and critical internal medicine and gastroenterology diseases, with expertise in chronic liver disease including fatty liver, chronic hepatitis B, cirrhosis and liver cancer, as well as gastrointestinal diseases. Useful preparation for international patients Shen Xizhong is listed in MedToChina's specialist directory for Gastroenterology at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. For a first case review, patients should prepare a one-page diagnosis and treatment summary, recent test reports with dates and reference ranges, current medications, allergies, and relevant medical history, and endoscopy reports, liver function trends, viral hepatitis markers, abdominal imaging, and pathology reports when relevant. This profile is most useful for patients who need digestive disease, liver disease, hepatobiliary imaging, endoscopy, or pathology review. A short timeline of symptoms, previous treatment, response, side effects, and current goals helps the hospital understand whether the request is suitable for outpatient consultation, inpatient evaluation, second opinion, or further testing. Questions to clarify before booking - Which department should review the case first? - Which records must be translated before the hospital can assess the request? - Are original imaging files, pathology materials, or lab trends needed? - Is the expected visit for consultation only, or could tests or admission be required? - What travel timing is realistic after the hospital reviews the records? Coordination note MedToChina can help organize records, translate core documents, and communicate appointment requirements. Final diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and medical decisions must come from the hospital or licensed physician.
