Hi
I have gone through your ultrasound report.it shows hepatomegaly with increased echotexture ie fatty liver.due to alcohol consumption fat accumulates in hepatocytes called alcoholic hepato steatosis.fat accumulation in liver causes hepatomegaly and thus incresed echotexture.fatty accumulation is associated with hepatocyte injury and thu elevated liver enzymes in some people.its curable and reversable.abstain from alcohol.take green leafy vegetables and fruits.dont worry.if you free from alcohol definitly it wil help.
Thank you
With best regards
