Hepatology consultations for international patients usually start with a focused case summary, recent reports, and a clear question for the hospital department. Useful preparation may include a one-page diagnosis and treatment summary, recent test reports with dates and reference ranges, current medications, allergies, and relevant medical history, endoscopy reports, liver function trends, viral hepatitis markers, abdominal imaging, and pathology reports when relevant, and microbiology results, viral load tests, antimicrobial history, vaccination history, and liver or immune status when relevant. MedToChina uses specialty information to help patients organize records and route appointment requests; diagnosis and treatment decisions must come from licensed clinicians.
