Hello
Your ultrasound findings suggest liver parenchymal disease.Most likely it is due to hepatitis (hep b reactive)in your case.
In majority (up to 90 %)of the cases,it resolves spontaneously without any complications.However,it may be chronic and carriers in some cases.
You need regular checkup.Antiviral medicines can be prescribed after assessment.
In most of the cases,patient only need conservative treatment.
You may need assessment of clotting factors.
Get well soon.
