High liver hardness is mainly due to liver inflammation, cirrhosis and fatty liver. 1. Hepatitis: The more severe the inflammation of the liver, the higher the liver hardness value. Therefore, the hardness value can be rechecked after the liver function is completely normalized. 2. Cirrhosis: Liver hardness measurement is a way to check for liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. When liver function is normal but liver hardness value is high, it means there may be liver fibrosis or even cirrhosis. 3. Fatty liver: Fatty liver, as the name suggests, is the accumulation of excessive fat in the liver cells. Excess fat will affect the liver hardness test, and the heavier the degree of fatty liver, the higher the liver hardness value will be. The more severe the fatty liver, the higher the liver hardness value. In addition, long-term fatty liver can also lead to cirrhosis. Of course, the diagnosis of the disease cannot be made by one test alone, but needs to be based on the patient’s clinical symptoms and other test results.
