Do normal liver function and ultrasound mean the liver is normal?

Normal liver function and ultrasound do not necessarily mean that the liver must be normal. Some patients with chronic liver disease have fluctuating liver function values in the early stages, and liver cancer and other diseases in the early stages did not grow too large ultrasound can not be detected, and early liver function may not show abnormalities. It is generally recommended that patients check if liver disease, in addition to liver function tests and abdominal ultrasound, but also focus on hepatitis B and other viral tests and alpha-fetoprotein measurement tests. Hepatitis B and other viral tests can rule out whether you have hepatitis B and other viruses and whether you are a carrier of the virus. Alpha-fetoprotein is a golden indicator of liver cancer. If necessary, it is necessary to improve the CT scan of the liver and other tests to assist in the judgment. Therefore, only relying on liver function tests and color ultrasound cannot detect whether the liver is completely normal. It is recommended that patients go to regular hospitals for a comprehensive liver examination, and the clinician can only diagnose whether the liver is normal by integrating the results of the above tests, so do not make your own judgment, miss the opportunity to check and delay the treatment of your condition.
