Overview
Cirrhosis may present in a similar way to some other diseases. History, physical examination, and diagnostic testing may help in differentiating cirrhosis from other diseases such as malignancy, constrictive pericarditis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, portal vein thrombosis and splenic vein thrombosis.
Differentiating Cirrhosis From Other Diseases
Cirrhosis must be differentiated from other causes of abnormal liver function tests, altered liver architecture and size:
Condition | Differentiating signs and symptoms | Differentiating Tests |
---|---|---|
Cirrhosis |
|
Ultrasound findings in cirrhosis are as follows:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Abdominal MRI may also be helpful in the diagnosis of portal hypertension. Findings on MRI suggestive of cirrhosis with portal hypertension include:[9][10][11][12]
Transient elastography and the Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) technique are well-established methods for the staging of fibrosis in various liver diseases: [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]
|
Constrictive pericarditis |
|
|
Budd-Chiari Syndrome |
| |
Splenic vein thrombosis | Signs and symptoms of:
|
|
Portal vein thrombosis |
|
|
Schistosomiasis |
| |
Sarcoidosis |
| |
Inferior vena cava obstruction |
|
|
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia | None |
|
Idiopathic portal hypertension (hepatoportal sclerosis) | None |
|
Vitamin A intoxication, arsenic, and vinyl chloride toxicity | None |
|
Differential diagnosis of jaundice are: [26][27][28][29][30]
|
Differentiating Cirrhosis from other Diseases Based on Ascitic Fluid
Ascites may be caused by portal hypertension due to cirrhosis of liver or due to other causes such as malignancy. Ascitic fluid analysis should be done to broadly categorize the cause of ascites.
Ascites is broadly classified as two types based on the serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG):
- Transudate - SAAG > 1.1 g/dL (indicative of ascites due to portal hypertension)
- Exudate - SAAG < 1.1 g/dL (indicative of ascites due to other etiologies)
