You are a Diabetic and underwent angioplasty in the past.
The ultrasound of your liver suggests that it may hepatitis or a ever early stage of cirrhosis.
Depending upon the cause of hepatitis the duration of treatment may vary.
It will be better if you undergo Hepatitis B screening.
If you are a drinker than think of reducing or stopping.
