Brief Answer:
These findings are not concerning at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diagnosis of enlarged liver and slightly low density. Slightly low density doesn’t point to a known specific disease condition and will be difficult to help as this is not purely medical. I will suggest you ask the doctor what he meant by this for me to provide more details about it.

Your lab results are good. However, I will suggest that you upload the entire form for full interpretation. Also, provide old results if available for comparison and more insights on the overall meaning and the trend.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
