Risk Factors That Require Proactive Screening
If you have any of the following, you should see a liver specialist even without symptoms:
Your First Visit
The first consultation is a structured, unhurried evaluation. Bring any existing blood reports, scans, or previous doctor letters. Here is what to expect:
A detailed account of symptoms, duration, medications, alcohol use, family history, and prior diagnoses. This is the most important part of the assessment.
Examination for liver enlargement, tenderness, jaundice, ascites, signs of chronic liver disease (spider angiomata, palmar erythema, finger clubbing).
Liver function panel, viral hepatitis markers, CBC, INR, kidney function, and where relevant, tumour markers (AFP). Results reviewed same day where possible.
Existing ultrasound, CT, or MRI reviewed in detail. Additional imaging ordered if needed to complete the picture.
A plain-language explanation of what is found, what it means, and what the options are. No technical jargon. No rushed exit.
A personalised management plan: whether that is monitoring, medication, further investigation, or surgical referral within the same team.
