Dont worry.Increased echogenisity of liver means its fatty liver.it means accumulation of fat in hepatocytes.It causes increse in size of liver.its due to so many factors.increased intake of carbohydrate diet , diabetes , alcohol , overweight. Fatty accumulation in liver causes deranged liver function and thus abnormal liver function tests. Try to avoid risky life style.fatty liver is reversible.LFT comes to normal.
Thank u
