There are more differential diagnoses for liver function abnormalities, mainly drug liver injury, alcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis, fatty liver, autoimmune liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Patients with drug-related liver injury and alcoholic liver disease usually have a clear history of drug use and long-term alcohol consumption, which is easier to identify.
For suspected viral hepatitis a viral antigen antibody test such as Hepatitis B V can be performed.
Liver and biliary ultrasound and abdominal CT and MRI can help identify abnormal liver function and fatty liver, cholelithiasis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. For autoimmune liver disease can be clarified by blood tests.
Because there are many differentiating diseases for liver function abnormalities, patients with liver function abnormalities should consult a doctor in a timely manner to do the necessary differential tests, clarify the cause of the disease, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
