Blood tests may show abnormalities in liver enzymes, including gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and transaminases such as ALT and AST. However, liver enzyme levels can sometimes be normal even when fatty liver disease is present, so blood tests alone cannot always identify the condition.
In advanced liver disease,fel fluid can accumulate in the abdomen, a condition known as ascites. This is a sign that requires medical evaluation.
The symptoms and test results can vary considerably, so identifying who is most likely to be at risk is another key part of protecting liver health.
