Hello,
1) Fatty liver is condition in which metabolism of fat in liver become abnormal due to high amount of fat in food-blood or faulty metabolism. This lead to deposition of residual fat on liver tissue and also affect liver function
2) Fat containing diet, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol are aggravating factors for it.
3) Fatty liver is divided into three categories; mild, moderate and severe based on severity of fat deposition on liver. You might have moderate level fatty change based on long duration history + size of liver
4) But presence of regenerating nodule warrant me to progression into severe category. In extreme case, it develop cirrhosis (rare) which is irreversible condition.
5) Therefore you need further evaluation (MRI abdomen or contrast enhanced CT scan abdomen, upper GI abdomen) for precise categorisation of your disease and to start prompt treatment for it.
