Ultrasound key to detect fatty liver disease early: Experts
India TV NewsExperts highlighted the importance of ultrasound for the early detection of fatty liver disease, noting that blood tests alone might not offer a prompt diagnosis. Currently, diagnosing fatty liver disease mainly relies on a combination of patient history, physical examination, and blood tests, which measure liver enzyme levels and other liver function indicators. Therefore, I urge healthcare professionals to consider adopting ultrasound as a more routine diagnostic tool for fatty liver disease and using its benefits more widely to enhance patient care," said Dr Akash Roy, Senior Hepatologist at Apollo Hospitals, Kolkata. By leveraging ultrasound technology, we can detect fatty liver disease before symptoms appear, and prevent its progression to more severe liver damage.” said Dr Pavan Dhoble, Junior Consultant - Gastroenterology.
