How we can diagnosis a case of liver abscess?
The following tests may be used: 1. An abdominal ultrasound to locate an abscess. 2. A CT scan with intravenous contrast, or injected dye, to find and measure the abscess. 3. Blood tests to look for signs of infectious inflammation, such as an increased serum white blood count and neutrophil level.Read more
The following tests may be used:
1. An abdominal ultrasound to locate an abscess.
2. A CT scan with intravenous contrast, or injected dye, to find and measure the abscess.
3. Blood tests to look for signs of infectious inflammation, such as an increased serum white blood count and neutrophil level.
4. Blood cultures for bacterial growth to determine which antibiotic(s) you need.
5. An MRI of the abdomen.
***A pyogenic liver abscess may appear as a mass containing gas and fluid in the liver when viewed with CT scans.

The general 5-year survival rate for liver cancer is 20%, compared to 3% 40 years ago. Survival rates depend on several factors, including the stage of the disease. For the 43% of people who are diagnosed with liver cancer at an early stage, the 5-year survival rate is 35%.

BEP can be diagnosed by a qualified physician by rectal examination, which suggests an enlarged middle lobe of the prostate most of the time.

BEP can be diagnosed by a qualified physician by rectal examination, which suggests an enlarged middle lobe of the prostate most of the time. However, to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out malignancy of the prostate, certain tests are required:
1. Blood test to detect the level of PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) which is raised above normal in cases of malignancy of the prostate gland.
2. Transrectal Ultrasonography gives an idea about the size and contours of the prostatic overgrowth. In BEP, the contours are smooth while in malignancy, they are irregular.
3. Microscopic and routine examination of the urine may suggest infection of the urinary tract in long-standing cases of BEP.
4. Urodynamic studies to analyze the flow of urine from the bladder.

1. Blood tests. to look for signs of an infection or signs of gallbladder problems.
2. Imaging tests that show your gallbladder. Abdominal ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) can be used to create pictures of your gallbladder and bile ducts. These pictures may show signs of cholecystitis or stones in the bile ducts and gallbladder.
3. A scan that shows the movement of bile through your body. A hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan tracks the production and flow of bile from your liver to your small intestine. A HIDA scan involves injecting a radioactive dye into your body, which attaches to bile-producing cells. During the scan, the dye can be seen as it travels with the bile through the bile ducts. This can show any blockages.

1. Ultrasound scan- Gallstones can usually be confirmed using an ultrasound scan, which uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the inside of the body.
2. MRI scan- An MRI scan may be carried out to look for gallstones in the bile ducts. This type of scan uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body.
3. Cholangiography- A cholangiography uses a dye that shows up on X-rays. The dye may be injected into your bloodstream or directly into your bile ducts during surgery, or by using an endoscope passed through your mouth. After the dye has been introduced, X-ray images are taken. They’ll reveal any abnormality in your bile or pancreatic systems.
4. CT scan- A CT scan may be carried out to look for any complications of gallstones, such as acute pancreatitis. In this type of scan, a series of X-rays are taken from many different angles. CT scans are often carried out in an emergency to diagnose severe abdominal pain.

1. Blood testing. Blood tests may reveal too much calcium or uric acid in your blood.
2. Urine testing. The 24-hour urine collection test may show that you’re excreting too many stone-forming minerals or too few stone-preventing substances.
3. Imaging. Imaging tests may show kidney stones in your urinary tract. High-speed or dual-energy computerized tomography (CT) may reveal even tiny stones. Simple abdominal X-rays are used less frequently because this kind of imaging test can miss small kidney stones.
4. Ultrasound, a noninvasive test that is quick and easy to perform, is another imaging option to diagnose kidney stones.
5. Analysis of passed stones. You may be asked to urinate through a strainer to catch stones that you pass. Lab analysis will reveal the makeup of your kidney stones. Your doctor uses this information to determine what’s causing your kidney stones and to form a plan to prevent more kidney stones.

How we can diagnosis a case of liver cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis can be diagnosed by: 1. Radiology testing such as computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) . A new imaging technique called elastography can be performed with ultrasound or MRI. 2. Via a needle biopsy of the liver.
