Overview
Chest and abdominal X-rays show different abnormalities secondary to liver disease.
Chest X Ray
- Evaluation of fluid overload in lungs due to heart failure.
- Associated infections
- Plain abdominal X-rays may reveal dilated, oedematous intestines, although it is mainly useful to exclude pneumoperitoneum (free air in the peritoneal cavity) seen in secondary peritonitis, which may also be visible on chest X-rays.
