ULTRASOUND IMAGES DIFFUSE LIVER CONDITIONS
Diseases which diffusely affect the liver may have very non-specific ultrasound appearances. Suspicion is usually raised following altered LFTs and the diagnosis made histologically.
A number of diffuse liver conditions can cause hepatocellular (or non-obstructive) jaundice which is associated with increased levels of unconjugated

exclude any obstructive cause (by the presence or absence of biliary duct dilatation) and to search for liver metastases or signs of a diffuse liver condition.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the

reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
