Liver Diagnostic Tests

The UPMC Liver Cancer Center provides a full range of tests to help diagnose liver cancer and other liver conditions.

Diagnostic procedures include:

Nutritional tests
Breath tests
Special motility measures
Tests of acid secretion
Percutaneous liver biopsies
Radiology tests
Blood tests

Some of these tests obtain samples of liver tissue (biopsies), while others can simultaneously diagnose and treat certain liver problems, reducing the need for and frequency of more invasive liver surgery.
