2 Venn diagram showing patients with abnormal liver tests and most commonly recorded liver diagnoses.
Venn diagram showing patients with abnormal liver tests and most commonly recorded liver diagnoses. (A+B+C+D) = All adults tested (n = ); Set A = Tested and normal LFTs (n = ). (B+C) = Tested and abnormal LFTs (n = ); Set B = Tested, abnormal LFTs but no diagnosis (n = ); Set C = Tested, abnormal LFTs and liver diagnosis recorded (n = 3687). (C+D+E) = Liver diagnosis recorded; Set D = Tested, normal LFTs and liver diagnosis recorded (n = 4384); Set E = Not tested, liver diagnosis recorded (n =3965). This group of sets is further broken down into the proportions of patients with the common liver diagnoses. ALD = alcoholic liver disease. HBV = hepatitis B virus. HCV = hepatitis C virus.
