Overview

Chest x ray has a limited role in the diagnosis and management of cirrhosis, but can be helpful in identifying certain complications that can occur as a result of cirrhosis.

Chest X Ray

Normal versus Abnormal Barium study of esophagus with varices

Chest x ray has a limited place in the diagnosis and management of patients with cirrhosis. It is used to screening for ascites, seeking evidence of bowel perforation in patients with suspected spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, and monitoring bowel distension in acutely ill patients admitted for treatment of decompensation or variceal hemorrhage. X ray may show elevation of the diaphragm from ascites. Gynecomastia may be appreciated. The azygous vein may be enlarged because of collateral flow and pleural effusions may occur from the presence of pleuroperitoneal fistulas.
