How early detection of fatty liver

Fatty liver is a common diffuse liver disease, such as timely treatment can reverse it; Instead, some patients may develop steatohepatitis, or even cirrhosis. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment to prevent fatty liver progress and improve the prognosis is very important. On the diagnosis of fatty liver, in the past under the liver biopsy for diagnosis, in recent years with the development of imaging technology, in particular, CT, MRI and ultrasound imaging in a wide range of clinical applications, not by liver biopsy that can be more accurate clinical diagnosis. Fatty liver due to the lack of specific clinical and laboratory indicators, and another liver biopsy traumatic, now used mainly ultrasound and CT diagnosis of fatty liver. Now confirmed by imaging examination not only of fatty liver screening and diagnosis can be established. Given Ultrasound diagnosis of fatty liver economic, rapid, noninvasive advantages, therefore, fatty liver regularly to the high-risk population for liver ultrasound screening is the early detection of fatty liver in the best way. The so-called fatty liver in high-risk groups is the existence of fatty liver disease risk factors than the general population more susceptible to fatty liver groups. Fatty liver in high-risk groups include obesity, in particular visceral obesity patients; Diabetes, in particular, adult non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients; long-term heavy drinkers; hyperlipidemia, This is especially elevated blood triglycerides; long-term liver damage drug use; as well as obesity, fatty liver and diabetes family history of the individual. Overall, the incidence of fatty liver risk factors must have self-health awareness regular (1 to 2 year) for liver B-ultrasonic imaging examination in the early detection of fatty liver.
