Hepatomegaly

Introduction Hydronephrosis is caused by various infectious or non-infectious causes of liver invasion, resulting in degeneration and necrosis of liver cells, or increased liver-related vascular permeability, resulting in excessive accumulation of water in the interstitial space of the liver itself. Liver hydrops. Liver hydrops are not terrible and can be cured by treatment.

Cause

1. Infectious causes, such as bacterial infection of the liver.

2, non-infectious causes, such as physical and chemical factors on the liver damage, resulting in degeneration and necrosis of liver cells, which is excessive accumulation of water in the liver tissue gap.

3. Portal hypertension.

4. Plasma protein is reduced.

1. On the basis of fully collecting the patient's medical history, the doctor first uses the visual diagnosis and palpation to conduct a preliminary diagnosis. Hydronephrosis can lead to an increase in the size of the liver, which can be manifested in the abdomen and form a swollen mass.

2, followed by auscultation, auscultation at the anatomical location of the liver, such as the discovery of noise, in line with the auscultation characteristics of hydronephrosis can be further determined.

3. Appropriate use of relevant instrument inspections.

Differential diagnosis

Identification:

The most important thing is to identify the water in the liver or other organs. The basic approach is to first determine the location of the water. Initially, you can use the visual diagnosis, palpation, percussion, and auscultation to make a preliminary diagnosis, and to understand the relevant characteristics of each organ to see if there is any change. If the altered site is found to be mainly in the liver anatomy, then consider the cause. At the same time, a variety of instruments should be used to check the relevant organs for further diagnosis.
