When you're experiencing digestive issues and suspect a liver problem, Doctor may recommend several tests to determine the exact cause. Some of the commonly performed diagnostic procedures include: Blood tests: Blood tests can help evaluate liver function and identify potential issues. Tests such as liver function tests (LFTs), which measure levels of enzymes and proteins in the blood, can provide valuable information about liver health. Other blood tests may include tests for viral hepatitis markers, autoimmune markers, and liver enzymes. Imaging tests: Imaging tests can provide a visual assessment of the liver and help identify abnormalities. Common imaging procedures include ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These tests can help detect liver tumors, cysts, abscesses, or structural abnormalities. Liver biopsy: A liver biopsy involves obtaining a small sample of liver tissue for microscopic examination. It helps determine the cause and severity of liver disease, such as inflammation, scarring, or the presence of abnormal cells. A biopsy is typically performed using a needle inserted through the skin into the liver under local anesthesia. Endoscopic procedures: In some cases, endoscopic procedures may be performed to evaluate the liver and associated organs. An endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera, is inserted through the mouth or anus to visualize the digestive tract and check for abnormalities in the liver, gallbladder, or bile ducts. Other specialized tests: Depending on the suspected liver condition, your doctor may recommend additional specialized tests. These could include viral hepatitis serology, genetic testing for inherited liver diseases, or tests to evaluate liver function in detail, such as the fibroscan, which measures liver stiffness. |
