Tuberculosis can affect the liver in three forms. The most common form is diffuse hepatic involvement, seen along with pulmonary or miliary tuberculosis. The second is granulomatous hepatitis and the third, a much rarer form presents as focal/local tuberculoma or abscess.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a RBC FOLATE Test or Take a ANTI SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE ANTIBODY (ASCA) IGG Test
