Why is Abdominal Ultrasound Performed for Hepatitis B?

Hepatitis B usually refers to chronic hepatitis B. Abdominal color Doppler ultrasound is mainly used to determine the size of the liver and spleen, as well as the morphology of the spleen, which has certain clinical significance for identifying liver diseases. If a patient suffers from chronic hepatitis B, color Doppler ultrasound can be used to determine the severity of the liver disease, such as whether the patient has obstructive jaundice or fatty liver disease. During liver color Doppler ultrasound examination, the size and morphology of the spleen can also be determined, as well as whether there are liver lesions. Liver function tests and pathological examinations are also important diagnostic methods for assessing the degree of liver function impairment. If a patient develops hepatitis after infection, they can go to the hospital for relevant examinations, and after a clear diagnosis, take appropriate treatment measures to avoid deterioration of the condition. In daily life, one should maintain a good mindset, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. If there are any symptoms of discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in a hospital to avoid delaying the condition.
