What Does Hepatocellular Disease With Fatty Liver Suggest?
I got my result today it says.Diffuse heterogeneous echotexture of the liver, suggesting underlying hepatocellular disease and mild fatty liver infiltration, no sonographic evidence of a focal hepatic lesion is seen. It tells me to loose 10 lbs in 3 months and a low fat diet. On another note I had hep C and was treated for it and told it was no longer a PROLBLEM. I have no idea what this letter means can you explain it to me like a 10 year old, my doctor is not available and I m worried

Hello
Diffuse heterogeneous echotexture of the liver with mild fatty liver may indicate liver parenchymal disease.It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
It may be due to fatty changes in liver in your case.
You may need few more investigations like liver function test,lipid profile and ultrasound of abdomen.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
Take Care
