hello sir, my husband has mild hepatomegaly with fatty infiltration grade 1. Liver mildly enlarged 17.3cms with increased parenchymal echoes and attenuation of sound beam distally. i just want to know how much harmful this and whats precaution for this? Secondly is there any harm to baby...if i conceive?
Mostly fatty liver remain silent with no complication in future. But if no care is taken regarding dietary habit then it might develop in hepatitis lead to jaundice. If alcohol drinking done for long time then chances of development of cirrhosis is there.
So guide your husband to loose weight if obese. Take less cholesterol. Use minimal oil in diet.
As far as conception is concerned you can deliver normal baby with no side effect ...so don't worry about affection of your husband's fatty liver on child birth...
If your husband develop jaundice or any other complication then you can contact HCM for further guidance.
Take care. Dr.Parth Goswami
