Suggest methods to detect liver condition
Patient: I am a male 53 years old, 178 cm and weigh 80k.I am active, exercise on regular basis , my general health condition is considered OK.  Around 18 month back I was treated from HCV genotype 2 using Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin, I made several tests and have Sustained viral load and normal liver function tests. Recently I started suffering from muscle ache in different parts of my body; a symptom I had before treatment. I am worried that my liver though all liver tests show normal function of the liver, my liver condition may have deteriorated. How can I check my liver condition without going for biopsy. Doctor: HIThank for asking to HCMI really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that the best way to see the health is good or not is the clinical symptoms if you do not have any clinical symptoms then why to worry still you can go for ultrasonography test and liver function test these you can be done, have a nice day.
