Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
You have moderately enlarged liver(hepatomegaly)with mild fatty changes.It is confirmed by liver size which is 18.1 cm and minimal increased echogenicity.
There is no other lesions in liver.
Portal,hepatic veins and inferior vena cava is patent means it is open.
You need few blood investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile.
You should avoid saturated & trans fat,red meat,high fat containing milk products.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
