Question: Hi Doctor, I was Diagnosed with Mild Hepatomegaly with the Liver measuring 14.3cm with Grade 2 diffuse Fatty infiltration. No disproportionate lobar hypertrophy
Brief Answer:
Hepatic steatosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
It seems that you have Hepatic steatosis (fatty liver) which is the infiltration of liver with lipids .
This can happen in some conditions including:
-Obesity
-A diet high in lipids (fatty ,processed foods)
-A sedentary life with no physical activity
-Alcohol consumption
Mild hepatomegaly is a common finding in abdominal ultrasound in people with hepatic statosis.
The major risk for fatty liver is the development of fibrosis in the liver that can lead to cirrhosis.
Fatty change is reversible with modification of the underlying causative factor, e.g. alcohol, obesity, diet and this is the aim of the treatment.
Your doctor has prescribed you Liv 52,which is a herbal preparation that can have protective effects on the liver.
You should do some modifications on your life-style an diet.
Eat only healthy foods,avoid fatty processed foods.Exercise regularly every day If you are overweight ,you need to lose weight.Avoid alcohol.
-Drink plenty of water.
From the ultrasound report it says that you also have kidney stones and for this reason your doctor has prescribed you Urispas to help with your symptoms.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question or doubts to clarify.I will be happy to assist you further.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati

Hello again!
Regarding the liver, in your case the cause of fatty liver is alcohol consumption.It is a grade 2 steatosis but the fibrosis isn't developed yet .This means that the condition is reversible.
You should follow a strict diet that includes only healthy foods (mostly green vegetables ).Avoid any alcoholic drinks ,drink plenty of fluids and exercise regularly.
Regarding the stones in your kidneys ,if they are asymptomatic (don't cause any problem ) you may wait until they get out on their own ) but if they cause problems like recurrent infections, recurrent symptoms you may need treatment.
Considering your age and the multiple stones in your kidneys I would suggest to consult a specialist (Nephrologist) because you may need some additional tests to understand if the factors that can lead to stone formations in your kidney.
Some tests include:
-Urinary calcium
-Electrolyte levels in blood
-Urinalysis
-Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level
-Tests on 24-hour urine collections that measure total volume, pH, calcium, oxalate, uric acid, citrate, sodium, potassium and creatinine.
Meanwhile you should drink plenty of fluids during the day (at least 2.5 liters daily).
Take care,
Dr.Rovena
