Fatty Liver, Abnormal Liver Tests and Liver Disease
Evaluation and Care for Liver Disease
Have you been told that your liver enzymes are elevated or that imaging shows fatty liver? Many liver conditions cause no symptoms and are first discovered through routine blood tests, an ultrasound, CT scan, or other imaging.
The liver helps process nutrients, remove waste, produce bile, and regulate important functions throughout the body.
Early evaluation can help identify the cause of abnormal results and prevent further liver damage.

Dr. Tieng will review your medical history, medications, alcohol use, metabolic risk factors, laboratory results, and imaging studies.
Additional blood tests or imaging may be recommended to determine the cause and assess whether there is inflammation, scarring, or other liver damage.
Treatment depends on the underlying condition and may include weight management, dietary and lifestyle changes, treatment of diabetes or high cholesterol, medication adjustments, limiting alcohol, or ongoing laboratory and imaging monitoring.
