CT Scan Shows Fatty Infiltration Of Liver, Mild Hepatomegaly, Dinfiltration Of Liver. Meaning?
My Ct scan showed that I have some component of fatty infiltration of the liver. Mild hepatomegaly. My liver measures 22 cm. No space-occupying mass in the liver or the spleen. No abnormality in the pancreatic bed. The gallbladder appears normal. Adrenal glands appear normal. There is no renal mass. No hydronephrosis of the kidneys. There is no aneurysm of the abdoninal aorta. No enlarged adenopathy. No free fluid within the abdomen. There is no indujration in the nesentery. Mild Hepatomegaly. Dinfiltration of the liver. Otherwise, negative comuterized tomography of the abdomen. I used to drink whiskey when I got upset or depressed about something, but quit just recently, and I don't want to drink any kind of alcohol ever again. What does this medical report that is written about my Ct scan mean? Also my blood work came back that I have good liver function, kidneys, and etc. Does this mean I have some kind of liver damage in areas of my liver? Since I don't drink anymore will my liver get better? What can I do or take to help my liver and entire body get back in shape and back to being healthier again? Thank-you for your medical advise, please write me back soon. YYYY@YYYY

Hi, many thanks for the query!
Well, your report is not that bad to be worried so much, but the decision not to drink anymore, is perfectly correct & all that is needed.
You should start some medicines for reducing fatty infiltration of your Liver with your doctor's opinion.
Rest all findings in your report are normal, also its good that your Liver function tests are normal.
Do regular exercise, also yoga & meditation if possible.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.
