Blood tests cannot detect fatty liver.
Blood test belongs to the general test of blood, mainly including the test of red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells, platelets and other counts and morphology, which is generally used for the detection of blood system diseases and infectious diseases.
Fatty liver, also known as fatty liver disease, is a disease characterized by excessive accumulation of fat in liver cells and degeneration of fat cells, and is mainly divided into non-alcoholic fatty liver and alcoholic fatty liver. Patients with fatty liver disease often have no obvious discomfort, and a few patients may have non-specific manifestations such as fatigue and loss of appetite.
Clinical examination tools commonly used for fatty liver disease include blood liver function test, ultrasonography, abdominal CT examination, liver puncture biopsy and so on. Among them, liver puncture biopsy is the main method to confirm the diagnosis of fatty liver disease, but because it is invasive, ultrasonography and abdominal CT are more widely used.
Tips: The above tests should be diagnosed under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be self-diagnosed to avoid delaying the condition.
