What Are the Diagnostic Tools for Liver Cirrhosis and Liver Cancer?
Diagnosing liver cirrhosis typically involves blood tests, imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI, and sometimes a liver biopsy. For liver cancer, in addition to these methods, specific blood tests for tumor markers like alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) can be useful. Advanced imaging techniques and biopsy help in confirming the diagnosis and staging the cancer.
