Liver Diagnostic Procedures

Non-Invasive Tests

• Blood Tests: Liver function tests (LFT), viral markers
• Ultrasound Abdomen: First-line imaging
• FibroScan (Transient Elastography): Measures liver stiffness (fibrosis)
• CT Scan / MRI Liver: Detailed imaging for tumors and complications

Invasive Diagnostic Procedures

• Liver Biopsy: Confirms diagnosis, grading, and staging of liver disease
• Diagnostic Paracentesis: Fluid removal from abdomen for testing in ascites

Therapeutic Procedures:

Endoscopic Procedures

• Upper GI Endoscopy: Endoscopic Variceal Ligation (EVL): Sclerotherapy
• Advanced Endoscopic Procedures : ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography)
  EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound)

Liver-Specific Therapeutic Procedures

• Therapeutic Paracentesis
• Management of Portal Hypertension
• Liver Tumor Management
• Ablation (RFA)

Critical Care Management

• Hepatic encephalopathy treatment
• GI bleeding control
• Infection management (e.g., spontaneous bacterial peritonitis)
