Kara Wegermann
40 Duke Medicine Cir, 
Durham, NC 

Overview

My passion is caring for patients with chronic liver disease, including before and after liver transplant. I treat all forms of chronic liver disease, including alcohol-associated liver disease, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, autoimmune hepatitis, biliary diseases such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, and fatty liver disease (now called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease or MASLD), which is my specialty. I work with patients and their families to find the right treatment plan, which can include liver transplant in some patients. I am married to a Duke cardiologist, and we have two young daughters. We enjoy hiking, swimming, and sidewalk chalk in our free time.

Her top areas of expertise are Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), and Liver Transplant.
