Ultrasound
- Ultrasound of abdomen may be done to exclude other causes of jaundice and hepatomegaly such as biliary obstruction. Nonspecific findings include increased echogenicity of the liver parenchyma.
- Liver cirrhosis may have a coarse, nodular appearance, and other findings compatible with portal hypertension (eg, varices, splenomegaly, ascites, pleural effusion)
