Private Liver & Gallbladder Ultrasound Scan

Common liver-related symptoms include:

• Jaundice (yellow skin or eyes)
• Abdominal pain or swelling
• Swelling in legs or ankles
• Itchy skin
• Fatigue and weakness
• Nausea or loss of appetite
• Pale stools or dark urine

If you notice these symptoms, a liver ultrasound can provide early insight into the cause.

• Fatty liver (hepatic steatosis) – due to alcohol, obesity, or diabetes.
• Hepatomegaly – liver enlargement linked to heart failure or infection.
• Liver tumours – both primary (HCC) and secondary (metastatic).
• Cysts, abscesses, or hemangiomas – benign and treatable findings.

Ultrasound is an effective first-line diagnostic test for these conditions.

Poor diet, high cholesterol, and bile imbalance can cause gallstones or biliary inflammation. Risk factors include high-fat diets, obesity, pregnancy, and genetics.

You may experience:

• Pain in the upper right abdomen or back
• Bloating or discomfort after fatty meals
• Nausea or vomiting
• Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)
• Fever or chills

If you have these symptoms, an ultrasound can quickly confirm whether gallstones or gallbladder inflammation are present.

• Gallstones and sludge
• Infection or inflammation (cholecystitis)
• Biliary duct dilation or blockage
• Tumours or abnormal wall thickening

To ensure clear imaging:

• Avoid eating or drinking for 4–6 hours before your scan.
• Follow a low-fat diet on the day of your appointment.

This helps the gallbladder fill with bile, providing clearer results.

You’ll lie comfortably while gel is applied to your upper abdomen. A small probe glides over the area to produce live images.
The procedure lasts around 15–20 minutes, is pain-free, and requires no recovery time.

Your results will be reviewed and discussed immediately after your scan. A full digital report and image set are emailed to you the same day.

You can return to normal activities and diet immediately. If abnormalities are detected, your doctor may recommend follow-up tests or referrals.
