warum sieht mein bauch aus wie schwanger — which blood markers matter?

A pregnancy-like belly (bloating, visceral fat, or ascites) has many potential causes. Blood markers can offer clues but are not diagnostic alone. Relevant labs include: inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR) for IBD; liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT) for fatty liver or ascites; kidney function (creatinine, urea) for fluid retention; thyroid (TSH) for hypothyroidism contributing to fullness; celiac serology (tTG-IgA) for gluten intolerance; and vitamin B12, ferritin, vitamin D for deficiencies that may worsen bloating. A microbiome stool test shows bacterial composition but cannot diagnose intolerances. Visceral fat accumulation may be indicated by elevated triglycerides, fasting glucose, and HOMA-IR. Evidence for these markers is moderate to practice-based; no blood test replaces clinical evaluation with imaging (ultrasound) and history. Caveat: MyBody-X tests are screening tools, not diagnostic. If ascites is suspected, seek immediate medical attention.
