Steatohepatitis is a type of fatty liver disease, characterized by inflammation of the liver with concurrent fat accumulation in liver. Mere deposition of fat in the liver is termed steatosis, and together these constitute fatty liver changes. [1] There are 2 main types of fatty liver disease (FLD):
Obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, liver disease: Diagnostic method: Ultrasound, Coexisting metabolic disorders, Liver biopsy: Treatment: Weight loss (in case of obesity) Dietary reduction of fructose and glucose [6] (diet and exercise) [4] [7] Prognosis: Depends on type [8] Frequency: 24% in worldwide population, 80% in ...

[1] [2] Occasionally there may be tiredness or pain in the upper right side of the abdomen. [1] Complications may include cirrhosis, liver cancer, and ...
They may be discovered on medical imaging (even for a different reason than the cancer itself), and the diagnosis is often confirmed with liver biopsy. [2] Signs and symptoms of liver masses vary from being asymptomatic to patients presenting with an abdominal mass, hepatomegaly, abdominal pain, jaundice, or some other liver dysfunction ...
Alcoholic liver disease and tuberculosis of the liver may be diagnosed through biopsy. [1] Direct biopsy of tumors of the liver may aid the diagnosis, although this may be avoided if the source is clear (e.g. spread from previously known colorectal cancer). [1] Liver biopsy will likely remain particularly important in the diagnosis of ...
Diagnosis may be difficult and often involves a combination of blood tests, urine tests, and a liver biopsy. Genetic testing may be used to screen family members of those affected. [1] Wilson's disease is typically treated with dietary changes and medication. Dietary changes involve eating a low-copper diet and not using copper cookware.

Liver function tests (LFTs or LFs), also referred to as a hepatic panel or liver panel, are groups of blood tests that provide information about the state of a patient's liver. [1] These tests include prothrombin time (PT/INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), albumin , bilirubin (direct and indirect), and others.
