Liver disease in children can directly affect the nervous system as the liver plays a critical role in detoxifying the body. When the liver malfunctions, toxins may accumulate and impact nerve function. Nerve ultrasound provides doctors with valuable insights into how the nervous system is affected in children with liver conditions.
What is nerve ultrasound
Nerve ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create detailed images of nerves and surrounding tissues. This diagnostic tool allows doctors to evaluate nerve function and identify any abnormalities effectively.
Benefits of nerve ultrasound for children with liver disease
