Hepatitis diagnosed with fatty liver

The first hepatitis history, symptoms and abnormal liver function, fatty liver, the merger no specific symptoms and therefore difficult to make an accurate from the clinical diagnosis. It was reported 19 cases of hepatitis fatty liver, triglyceride all of the high 2-3 times the normal serum cholesterol also increased 50%. But there are also reports of heavy only in the fatty liver can see lipids High, and has not exceeded the normal range. Therefore, the blood lipid indicators alone will be larger part of the merger of fatty liver hepatitis patients with missed diagnosis. It was reported that the type A simple fatty liver ultrasound on the clinical diagnosis was 95. Seven percent. And have reported only 44.4 percent of cases are Type A fatty liver ultrasound characteristics. The hepatitis B ultrasonic diagnosis of fatty liver seems no obvious advantages, particularly for light, medium patients with fatty liver. Therefore, a comprehensive inspection should continue, including CT, considered diagnosis. If clinical hepatitis deferred, especially appetite improved significantly after the rapid increase in weight, patients with hepatitis symptoms not overlapping, but not the liver retraction, such as ALT liver function continued to drop, should consider the possibility of fatty liver, and dynamic observation and, if necessary, liver biopsy or trial fatty liver treatment.
