What is needed to detect intrahepatic cholestasis?

Intrahepatic cholestasis can be detected by abdominal ultrasound, blood biochemistry and cholangiography.
1. Abdominal ultrasound: An important test for intrahepatic cholestasis is abdominal ultrasound, which can detect the presence of stones and biliary polyps.
2. Biochemical examination: When intrahepatic cholestasis occurs, patients will have elevated total bilirubin and direct bilirubin, and liver function will be abnormal, such as elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. In addition, bile acids and γ-GT will also be elevated to different degrees.
3. Cholangiography: Cholangiography can more clearly observe the cause of cholestasis and the site of cholestasis.
If there is any abnormality in the results of liver function tests or ultrasound or cholangiography, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify the cause of the disease and carry out targeted treatment or therapy with the help of the doctor.
