World Hepatitis Day.
Know Your Status. Protect Your Liver.
Ultrasound helps detect liver damage, monitor disease progression, and screen for liver cancer.
Why is Ultrasound Important in Hepatitis?
🩺 Detects Liver Damage Early
* Evaluates liver size, texture, and signs of inflammation.
* Helps detect fatty liver and early cirrhosis.
🔍 Screens for Liver Cancer
* People with chronic Hepatitis B or C are at increased risk of liver cancer.
* Regular liver ultrasound is recommended for surveillance in high-risk patients.
💧 Identifies Complications
* Detects liver scarring (cirrhosis), ascites (fluid in the abdomen), enlarged spleen, and portal hypertension.
📈 Monitors Disease Progression
* Allows physicians to compare liver changes over time during treatment and follow-up.
⚡ Safe, Non-Invasive & Radiation-Free
* Painless, widely available, and suitable for repeated monitoring.
Who Should Consider a Liver Ultrasound?
* Individuals with chronic Hepatitis B or C
* Patients with elevated liver enzymes
* People with fatty liver disease
* Individuals with cirrhosis
* Those at high risk for liver cancer, as advised by their physician
Important Reminder
Ultrasound does not diagnose hepatitis infection. Blood tests (such as HBsAg, Anti-HCV, and viral load tests) are needed to diagnose viral hepatitis. Ultrasound complements these tests by assessing the liver for damage and complications.
