Overview
Ultrasound
- Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease. Findings on an echocardiography/ultrasound suggestive of underlying liver disease include:
- Ultrasound:[1][2][3][4]
- Appearance of fat on the liver is variable
- Hyperechoic texture is suggestive of fatty liver
- Hyperechoic mass is suggestive of macroscopic fat on the liver
- The sensitivity and specificity for detecting hepatic steatosis is only increased when there is greater than thirty percent fat in the liver
- A coarsened echo pattern is suggestive of hepatic fibrosis
- A nodular liver contour is suggestive of hepatic cirrhosis
- Ultrasound:[1][2][3][4]
