Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Hepatomegaly means enlargement of the liver, this is reported as mild or minor enlargement.
Fatty changes imply that there are deposits of fat in the liver,this can progress to inflammation but in your case, this is not seen as yet.
There is also deposits of fat in the pancreas.
In terms of the kidney, the ultrasound found a cyst in the right kidney. An exophytic cyst is a cyst that grows form the inside out.
The prostate is also enlarged,this would be expected at age 82.
Fatty liver and also deposits of fat in other parts of the body is treated by increasing physical activity and changing the diet.
The dietary changes actually involve reducing the use of carbohydrates which are eventually stored as fat.
Your doctor may consider monitoring the cysts for any changes that may occur by repeated ultrasounds.
I hope this helps

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your ultrasound report suggests that,
Liver is mildly enlarged in size with mild fat deposition within.It is termed as fatty liver.
Gall bladder is partially contracted in size at the time of scan.
Fatty deposition is also noted in pancreas.
In right kidney there is cyst( fluid filled structure) in upper pole.Thai is normally seen in aged patients.
Prostate is also enlarged in size and its median lobe is projecting into urinary bladder.Prostate enlarges with age and due to this there is residual urine volume of 26 cc in urinary bladder.
Hope you have understand the terms and these are findings seen in aged patients.
