So how do you know when it\u2019s time to get a liver scan?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Kansas City Research Institute (KCRI), we specialize in leading diagnostics and treatments for moderate to severe liver conditions including fatty liver disease (FLD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatitis B and C, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continue reading to learn about tests for liver disease and to help you determine if it\u2019s time for you to get a liver scan. But first, everything you need to know about liver disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liver disease: the facts, the signs, and the dangers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatty liver disease (FLD) refers to complications that arise from an excess of fat stored in the liver. FLD does not exclude liver damage as a result of alcohol abuse or excessive drinking. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is consistent with FDL in severity, but is not caused by drinking. A liver scan is the first step to seeking treatment for either. According to data from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/nonalcoholic-fatty-liver-disease\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20354567\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, NAFLD affects about one quarter of the population in the U.S.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of fatty liver disease are rare, <\/span><b>as most people have no symptoms,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but when they do present they include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"custom-list-style-darkblue\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdominal pain for a feeling of fullness in the upper right quadrant of the stomach<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swollen abdomen and legs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yellowing of the skin or eyes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/15367-adult-jaundice\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jaundice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistent nausea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confusion<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue or weakness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While FLD can have associated symptoms, they most often do not present at all until your disease has progressed beyond reversal. That means you could be living with FLD and <\/span><b>have no symptoms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A liver scan is a proactive approach among tests for liver disease that affords you options in your treatment, before it\u2019s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk factors associated with fatty liver disease<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s difficult to identify symptoms of fatty liver disease, there are clear risk factors that may increase your susceptibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolic syndrome<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/metabolic-syndrome\/about-metabolic-syndrome\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolic syndrome<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a group of conditions that can be a risk factor for fatty liver disease, as well as a host of other pulmonary and cardiovascular conditions. Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when three or more of the following are present in one patient:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"custom-list-style-darkblue\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High blood glucose (sugar)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low levels of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/cholesterol\/hdl-good-ldl-bad-cholesterol-and-triglycerides\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HDL<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cholesterol in the blood<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High levels of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/cholesterol\/hdl-good-ldl-bad-cholesterol-and-triglycerides\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">triglycerides<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the blood<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large waist circumference or \u201capple-shaped\u201d body<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High blood pressure (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/high-blood-pressure\/the-facts-about-high-blood-pressure\/what-is-high-blood-pressure\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hypertension<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that each of the above conditions is a risk factor for fatty liver disease on it\u2019s own, but your susceptibility dramatically increases when these conditions compound. For example, high blood sugar is dangerous, but when coupled with low levels of HDL, it puts you at a much higher risk for liver damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underlying causes of metabolic syndrome include obesity, insulin resistance, physical inactivity, genetic factors, and increasing age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some healthy habits to dramatically reduce your risk of developing metabolic syndrome include losing weight, increasing your physical activity, and eating a heart-healthy diet that\u2019s rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and fish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A liver scan can help you identify the effects that metabolic syndrome has on your liver tissue, insulin production, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_633\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-633 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Consultation-2839-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"Tests for Liver Disease in Kansas City\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Consultation-2839-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Consultation-2839-1024x815.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Consultation-2839-768x611.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Consultation-2839-1536x1223.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Consultation-2839-15x12.jpg 15w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Consultation-2839.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetes.org\/diabetes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">diabetes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: type 1 and type 2.

With type 1 diabetes, your body loses the ability to produce insulin. With type 2 diabetes, your body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin. In both cases, your liver doesn\u2019t receive the signal to release. The resulting surplus of blood sugar often leads to obesity and is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4405411\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">main correlator between diabetes and NAFLD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A liver scan can help to determine whether NAFLD is also present in type 1 or 2 diabetes patients, as well as how to simultaneously treat both conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dangers of fatty liver disease if left untreated<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest danger surrounding fatty liver disease is its tendency to develop into more serious conditions, especially when left untreated.

Your medical provider will determine which method is appropriate for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common category in tests for liver disease are scans. Scans point to diagnosis and diagnoses point to treatment. A liver scan is your source of direction when it comes to managing your liver health. At KCRI, we use the leading technology in liver scans for our patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FibroScan<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FibroScan is a non-invasive device used to assess liver health. It measures the degree of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-medical.net\/health\/What-is-Fibrosis.aspx#:~:text=The%20term%20fibrosis%20describes%20the,occurs%20as%20a%20pathological%20process.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fibrosis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or scarring, on the liver that could be caused by a number of liver conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The device measures fibrosis based on the \u201chardness,\u201d or stiffness, of the liver using a probe similar to an ultrasound. This measurement is given in kPa, which is a unit of pressure. Once we determine the degree of fibrosis, we can recommend further testing, treatment options, clinical trials, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FibroScan technology is fast and intuitive. The exam can be performed in-office by any medical professional in under 10 minutes, providing immediate results at the point of care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FibroScan can be used to reach a diagnosis or measure the status of a multitude of conditions affecting the liver, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"custom-list-style-darkblue\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic Hepatitis B<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic Hepatitis C<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatty Liver Disease (FLD)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cirrosis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liver failure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metabolic syndrome<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autoimmune diseases<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/es\/fibroscan-near-you\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about FibroScan near you in Kansas City \u2192<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_592\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-592 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Fibroscan-2163-300x221.jpg\" alt=\"Tests for Liver Disease in Kansas City\" width=\"300\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Fibroscan-2163-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Fibroscan-2163-1024x753.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Fibroscan-2163-768x565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Fibroscan-2163-1536x1130.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Fibroscan-2163-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/KCRI-Fibroscan-2163.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other types of scans and tests for liver disease used to assess the liver include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"custom-list-style-darkblue\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CT Scan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MRI Scan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood testing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interpreting the results of your tests for liver disease<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to interpreting the results of your liver scan or tests for liver disease in Kansas City, you want a team of medical professionals who are trustworthy, transparent, and experts in their field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kcresearchinstitute.com\/es\/clinical-research-organization-in-kansas-city\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KCRI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we are on the cutting edge of liver disease diagnostics and treatment.

For more moderate cases, decreasing overall body weight by 10% is a significant treatment method. Patients treating their FLD or NAFLD with lifestyle change are typically recommended to scan or test about once a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients with advanced fibrosis or scarring are more likely to be a better candidate for a NAFLD clinical trial.
