Dear patient, i think that you are talking about the ultrasonographic (USG) Scan findings of your abdomen, i don't know the reason why you have got it done but the USG findings that you have mentioned are suggestive of FATTY LIVER . Fatty liver is a condition in which there is accumulation of triglycerides (fat) in excess amount than normal inside the liver parenchymal cells due to various reasons. It is a reversible condition provided the underlying conditions that cause it are treated, removed or controlled. If left untreated it may remain static, or may lead to liver cell injury causing hepatitis which we call
steatohepatitis and may even progress to
end stage liver disease known as cirrhosis of liver. Common causes of Fatty Liver include Alocholism,
Viral Hepatitis espicially Hepatitis C ,
Metabolic syndrome (which includes Diabetes,
Hypertension, Obesity and Dyslipidemia) , Certain Drugs like steroids, amiodarone and tetracyclines, environmental hepatotoxions like phosphorus and certain mushrooms and finally malneutrition. So you may require few more test to see wheather your liver function is normal or not and to see wheather you may be having some underlying condition causing fatty liver like diabetes and dyslipidemia . There fore following test are required to be done ,LFT,
LIPID PROFILE, BLOOD SUGAR FASTING, HBsAg, HCV Serology, TFT(Thyroid function test because hypothroidism causes dyslipidemia). Treatement measures will include avoidance of alcohol if you consume alcohol, avoidance of high fat and high carbohydrate intake, weight reduction if you are obese or over weight, aerobic exercises, and proper treatement of diabetes, hypertention, dyslipidemia and
hypothyroidism if you have happen to have any of these, avoidance of any culprit medicines or toxions if feasible. Periodic reveiw of fatty liver status with USG abdomen and liver function test may be done after six months
