A member asked:
Would liver cirrhosis show up on an ultrasound?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Advanced liver cirrhosis may show up on ultrasound. However, ultrasound can detect fibrosis in the liver even before the development of cirrhosis.

Can but not always: with decompensated cirrhosis, can see splenomegaly, ascites, etc on USG easily. Early cirrhosis may not look any different though.
