For your heartburn have you taken antacids for the required period. Fatty infiltration of liver is deposition of fat in liver cells and would suggest you to moderate your lipid intake as much as possible and do some exercises to reduce the fat as well. Continue ursofalk based on your doctors advice which shall also help in reducing your fat in liver. Also you may ask your doctor whether you need an endoscopy.

Hi Sally, welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
You are n53 years, had slight pain at the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, some times extending to the back.
you had S.G.P.T.142, with heart burn, used ursofalk, for a month it came down to 68. Ultrasound showed moderate fatty infiltration.
If you are maintaining the diet controle with less fat, and sugar, it may be simple gastric irritation, may be contrlled with anti acid treatment.
If it is not controlled you may have to see your doctor for identifying the fatty liver, and continue the treatment for fatty liver.
in the meanwhile avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods.
Wising for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
