Examination of the liver – the cornerstones of examining the liverare the medical examination, blood tests (e.g. liverenzymes, bilirubin level), imaging methods (abdominal ultrasound, abdominal CT, abdominal MRI), functional tests (mainly procedures that allow bileexcretion to be assessed /e.g. magnetic resonance cholangiography/), histological examination of a liver-derived sample (liverbiopsy) and, increasingly widespread in recent years and sometimes even replacing liverbiopsy, liver stiffness measurement (so-called fibroscan).
