Hi,

Thanks for posting your query

Hepatic Steatosis means collection of excess amount of fat and triglycerides in the liver cells.It occurs most commonly due to consumption of alcohol and sedentary lifestyle.

It is a reversible condition and treatment depends on the cause.It is of two types Alcoholic and Non Alcoholic.Cysts are sometimes usual findings in liver.

NASH(Non alcoholic hepatic steatosis)most often occurs in middle age people and who are in the overweight range.

Since your cholesterol levels are also normal I will advice you to get your Liver Function tests done once.

As after two years the impression is same and has not reversed so your treating Doctor has advised the cholesterol medication for no more deposition of fat and there is no harm in taking them.

You need to do some regular exercise like brisk walking for 45 min-1 hour daily. Ursodeoxychiloic acid (UDCA) is supposed to help in reducing the fatty liver.You can discuss with your Doctor regarding this.

Hope this answers your query.I will be available for follow up if any.
