Who Is Dr. Gao Xin?
Dr. Gao Xin (高鑫) is a Chief Physician and Professor of Endocrinology at Ruijin Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and one of China's leading experts in metabolic diseases. While colleagues Dr. Ning Guang and Dr. Wang Weiqing focus on diabetes and rare endocrine disorders respectively, Dr. Gao Xin has built her reputation as a leading authority on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD/MASLD), metabolic syndrome, obesity, and insulin resistance — conditions that are increasingly prevalent globally and often poorly managed. Her research-driven approach and clinical expertise make her one of the most sought-after specialists in Asia for patients with complex metabolic conditions.
What Conditions Does She Treat?
Dr. Gao Xin specializes in the diagnosis and management of metabolic and endocrine conditions, including:
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)
- Metabolic syndrome (combination of obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance)
- Obesity and weight management (including medical and pre-surgical evaluation)
- Insulin resistance and pre-diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes with metabolic complications
- Dyslipidemia and cardiovascular metabolic risk
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with metabolic features
- Hyperuricemia and gout with metabolic underpinnings
Why International Patients Choose Dr. Gao
Metabolic syndrome and NAFLD are among the fastest-growing health challenges worldwide, yet many patients receive fragmented care that addresses individual symptoms rather than the underlying metabolic dysfunction. International patients choose Dr. Gao Xin for her holistic, evidence-based approach to metabolic health, her access to cutting-edge diagnostic tools including liver elastography and metabolic testing, and her ability to design comprehensive treatment plans that address the root causes of metabolic disease. For patients who have been told they have fatty liver, pre-diabetes, or metabolic syndrome and want expert guidance on reversing or managing these conditions, Dr. Gao's team at Ruijin Hospital offers a level of subspecialty depth that is rare outside of major academic medical centers.
