How does your doctor diagnoses liver inflammation?
Keep your health and see your doctor if you have any symptoms that suggest liver inflammation. Your doctor will ask you about your medical history to diagnose your case. He depends on the physical examination of the abdomen to examine your liver size, site, and shape.
