Can physical examination detect hepatitis?

Health check-up can generally detect abnormalities, but it is impossible to diagnose hepatitis.

Hepatitis is a general term for inflammation of the liver caused by bacterial infection, viral infection, chemical stimulation and other factors. Under normal circumstances, routine physical examination items include blood tests, liver function tests, color Doppler ultrasound, etc. If abnormal indicators such as transferase, total bilirubin, albumin are found in the examination, it may indicate the presence of hepatitis. Through B-ultrasound examination, CT examination and other imaging examinations, you can directly observe the morphology and structure of the liver, and then assess whether there is inflammation, fibrosis or other abnormalities. However, it should be noted that physical examination cannot specifically diagnose hepatitis. For patients with abnormal examinations, further examination is needed to determine the condition.
