Ultrasound of the liver
Ultrasound examination of the liver allows you to visualize the structure and assess the condition of the liver.
The liver plays a key role in metabolic processes, detoxification of the body and synthesis of important proteins. Ultrasound of the liver helps to identify diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty degeneration and tumors in the early stages.
Benefits
Painlessness and safety
Ultrasound of the liver is a non—invasive and painless procedure that does not harm the body.
High information content
The study provides detailed information about the condition of the liver, which helps in the accurate diagnosis of diseases.

Preparation for liver ultrasound
2-3 days before the study, products that cause gas formation (legumes, cabbage, carbonated drinks) should be excluded from the diet. On the eve of the procedure, you should refrain from eating for 6-8 hours and drinking for 2-3 hours. Smoking and chewing gum should also be avoided.
Liver ultrasound procedure
The doctor applies a gel to the patient's skin, which improves the contact of the ultrasound sensor with the skin. The sensor moves along the surface of the abdomen, transmitting an image of the liver to the monitor. The doctor evaluates the size, shape, structure and echogenicity of the liver, identifying possible pathological changes. The procedure usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
Recommendations after liver ultrasound
After performing a liver ultrasound, the patient can immediately return to normal business. It is important to follow the doctor's recommendations, especially if pathologies have been identified that require observation or treatment.
