Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM>
Your wife is having fatty liver. This means there is fat deposition in the liver.
It is a harmless condition.
Some of the causes are obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and alcohol intake.
Treating the underlying condition would reverse it.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
