What Is a Liver Cyst?
9. Diagnosis
Of all the people that will develop liver cysts, only around 5% will develop symptoms, and this means the vast majority of cases will go undiagnosed. When you do go and see a doctor about your symptoms, one of the first things that they are likely to do is to perform a physical examination.
Depending on the severity of the condition, the doctor may be able to feel that there is an issue with the liver physically. For a confirmed diagnosis, it will be necessary for further test to be undertaken. This will likely mean a CT scan or an ultrasound that will allow professionals to get a look at what is happening internally. This should be able to provide images that confirm the presence of cysts.
