The liver is essential for detoxifying harmful substances and maintaining overall health. Dr. Ankur Jain, Associate Director of Gastroenterology at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Dwarka, stresses the importance of regular liver health screenings, particularly for those at higher risk, such as individuals with a history of alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, or obesity. Routine liver function tests (LFTs) are the first step in assessing liver health, measuring enzymes like ALT and AST to detect inflammation or damage. Other key assessments include ultrasound, which can identify structural abnormalities, and FibroScan, which measures liver stiffness to detect fibrosis. Additionally, a viral hepatitis panel screens for chronic infections that can lead to serious complications. Regular screenings can catch liver issues early, making them fully treatable. Dr. Jain concludes that simple tests can reveal significant liver health insights, urging those with risk factors to prioritize these assessments.
