General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

I have gone through the ultrasound report and other lab investigations reports.

Liver functions are normal but on ultrasound 'SMALL HYPODENSE NODULE IN THE LIVER' needs to be diagnosed further by CT abdomen and clinical examination of liver if you have clinical symptoms.

All other tests like CEA,alkaline phosphatase,GGT,ESR and platelet count are within normal limits.

So,better you consult physician or gastroenterologist for further advise.

Regards,
