Hello! Outbreak lesions in the liver can be liver cysts but need to be differentiated from liver disease, polycystic kidney disease, and liver tumors. Therefore, in order to know if there is a dangerous outbreak in the liver, the doctor needs more information about the medical history as well as the results of some clinical and laboratory tests.
Therefore, you should go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for a hepatobiliary specialist examination. From that result, the doctor will diagnose the disease and advise more on what not to eat and what to eat if there is an outbreak of liver disease? Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Hope to meet you one day soon for more in-depth consultation. Best regards!
