Patient's question:
Can a blood test detect conditions like cholecystitis, gastroenteritis, appendicitis, etc.? Recently, I've been experiencing digestive discomfort, along with pain in the lower right abdomen and the liver area. I'm not sure what the problem might be.Doctor's answer:
The sensitivity of blood tests is not very high. It is recommended that you always maintain a calm mindset. You can go to the local hospital's department of gastroenterology for a follow-up visit and improve other relevant tests, such as an upper abdominal ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas, abdominal X-rays, etc., to confirm the diagnosis and provide targeted treatment. In addition to treating gastroenteritis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and always maintain a pleasant mood to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
