Welcome at HCM
i have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns...
What is her age? Is she obese? Pregnant? Is she jaundiced? Any history of fever? What are levels of liver function tests?
Deranged liver functions occurs in variety of liver disorders from benign conditions to malignant ones..
Your sister needs to examined and properly investigated for accurate management...
Based upon the history you have provided I don't think its an emergency to get ultrasound done on urgent basis... Just stay calm and continue with your routine chores....
Hope your query is adequately answered..
Stay safe
