Hi and welcome to HCM. It would be easier if you ve posted the liver enzymes findings. It ma indicate alcoholic, viral, autoimmune or toxic liver damage. The most probable cause is is fatty liver which can be found in healthy people, but usually is resulting from elevated blood lipids, overweight and elevated blood sugar. If ultrasounds didnt find anything and viral markers are negative then you have no reason to be concerned. YOu should treat it by changing dietary and lifestyle habits. Do exercise, avoid alcohol, smoking, fats, fast food and carbonated drinks. Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets. Findings usually improves on such measures. If not, then some medicines can be prescribed, but I suggest to go step by step. If you dont have any symptoms then this is just slight and reversible liver damage. Wish you good health.
