Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
You have fatty liver with normal liver function.
Some of the causes of fatty liver are obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and alcohol intake.
Since all the blood tests are normal, the risk factor for fatty liver is obesity.
So weight reduction should be done for resolution of fatty liver.
Try to keep your BMI to less than 25.
I hope that answers your query.
Regards.
