What Does This Ultrasound Report Signify?

Ultrasound of abdomen shows moderate diffuse increase in parenchymal echotexture obscuring the periportal chogenicities suggestive of moderate fatt infiltration. No focal lesion is seen. Intraheptic biliary radicles and veneous channels appear unremarkable. Can you advice the meaning in layman's term.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is important to know your age and symptoms with durations. The reports findings suggest increase in the amount of fat content in the liver as seen on ultrasound scan. This may occur due to alcohol, increased fats in diet, genetic problems or liver disease associated with pancreas and also in those who regularly go on fasting. It is important to get liver function tests and lipid profile done. Please discuss test results with your doctor and take your medicines regularly.
