Silent symptoms. Simple testing. Actionable answers.
At Texas Diabetes & Endocrinology, our goal is to help detect liver damage early—before symptoms begin—through non-invasive, high-precision imaging and lab testing.
Whether you’re managing diabetes, obesity, or elevated cholesterol, understanding your liver health is an essential step in long-term wellness.
Liver disease testing helps detect inflammation, fibrosis (scarring), or fat buildup in the liver—conditions that can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, or other serious complications. One of the most common findings is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) – formerly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), often discovered in people with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
We use tools like FibroScan and liver function blood tests to catch disease early—even before symptoms arise. These tests are helpful not only in MASLD, but also in identifying autoimmune liver disease, fatty liver, and metabolic-related inflammation.
Liver disease can affect anyone—but it’s most common in individuals with:
Because many liver conditions develop silently, routine screening—especially using a fatty liver disease test or FibroScan®—is recommended for high-risk patients.
At TDE, we treat liver health as a key component of endocrine and metabolic care. Our providers use FibroScan technology, which painlessly measures liver stiffness and fat content—providing real-time insights into your risk for fibrosis or fatty liver disease.
We also offer comprehensive liver function panels, advanced metabolic testing, and personalized recommendations based on your risk factors. We’ll answer common questions like:
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), commonly known as fatty liver disease, occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver. It is strongly associated with insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic health conditions.
If you’ve been told you have elevated liver enzymes, fatty liver disease, or are simply ready to take a proactive step toward better health, we’re here to help. Liver disease can develop silently—but with the right care, it doesn’t have to progress.
