Hi raymond,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
The findings your liver is reflecting on ultrasound is suggestive of a diffuse insult to liver.
It can be due to viral infection or toxin exposures like alcohol, drugs, contrasts, mushrooms poisoning etc.
This can resolve from here or may lead to more damage in due course of the disease.
You should get the Hepatitis markers for Hepatitis A,B,C,D,E , Liver function test, Prothrombin time, INR and an repeat ultrasound abdomen after two weeks.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
