What Does The CT Of The Abdomen Indicate?
Hello my husband got an ultrasound and I don't know if it means we should be extremely worried. We are very worried because the liver it's a very important organ. Here are the results: the liver is difusely echogenic. It is enlarged measuring up to 19.3 cm in length. There is an area of possible focal fatty sparing adjacent to the gallbladder. A CT of the abdomen is suggested for confirmation.
Bile ducts: intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts not dilated.
Gallbladder: Normal. There are no showing calculi. There is no gallbladder wall thickening. There is no pericholescystic fluid. There is not evidence for positive sonographic Murphy's sign.
Spleen: normal
Kidneys: both are normal in size and echotexture without solid or cystic masses, hydronephrosis or nephrolithianis
Pancrea: poorly visualized due to overlying bowel gas
Aorta and IVC: Normal
Ascites: none
Impression: finding suggestive for fatty liver with possible focal fatty sparing near the gallbladder.

1.Yes, It is to worry. Fatty liver is not much to worry, but enlargement of the size to 19 is.
2.Its generally seen in the alcoholic (Chronic) cases.
3.Get LFT ( liver function test done )
4.And accordingly act.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
