Elevation of the right dome of the diaphragm occurs in a small proportion of healthy young adults, and in a proportion of patients with cardiac disease, cirrhosis of the liver and gastroenteritis. Hence this radiological feature, although common in hepatic amoebiasis, should be considered in concurrence with the other clinical features in the diagnosis of hepatic disorders. The significance of an elevation in the right hemidiaphragm in diseases primarily non-hepatic in origin, although of no diagnostic importance, is of clinical interest and is discussed.
一小部分健康的年轻成年人以及一部分患有心脏病、肝硬化和肠胃炎的患者会出现右侧膈肌抬高的情况。因此，尽管这种放射学特征在肝阿米巴病中很常见，但在诊断肝脏疾病时，应结合其他临床特征进行考虑。右侧膈肌抬高在原发性非肝脏疾病中的意义，虽然没有诊断价值，但具有临床意义，本文将对此进行讨论。
