Brief Answer:
Fatty liver possible but without changing

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think the ultrasound shows fat accumulation in liver. It can be mainly be triglycerides. It has not yet caused fibrosis or inflammation that's why the blood tests are normal.
You may need to lower down triglycerides and fat intake having a low fat diet.
Hope I have answered the question.

Why did nodules show up on contour of fatty liver

Answered by Dr. Olgeta Xhufka (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Nodularity and mild fibrosis show inflammation

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.

Nodularity has to do with fibrosis which are changes of liver tissue due to inflammation. Probably this is the beginning of inflammation.

Having a low-fat diet is recommended.
